Was it a front wheel? Have you owned the truck since new? ever remember lug nuts seeming over-torqued?

I ordered factory replacement studs all around, if one wheel was over-torqued I figure there is a good chance all of them were.

 

what kind of wheels you running? I bought wheels when i first got my truck and they felt weird after i got them installed to i went home to check the lug nuts and all the studs would break off if i tried to loosen them. turns out my wheels werent hub centric which is what first gens need

 

I just have some Discount tire specials... forget what the name of them is.

 

i would double check see if you need hub centric and see what yours are. Discount installed mine and didnt catch the problem so you never know

 

hmm... hadn't considered it. Ill look into it.

 

i would just double check cause you never know

 

2nd gen are hub centric as well.

 

Yea front passenger. No. Bought it used. I’ve always torqued to 100

 

Fuck really ? You have pics of your rear setup? Did you run a spacer or anything ??

 

I had a 1st gen with 1.5" and still rubbed the wheel well on gnarticulation, you will definitely need more than 2" to clear outboard shocks

 

Damn, I'll have to run 2" for awhile then and be careful. Until I can pick up an axle.

 

Isnt that high.

 

Are you hitting the bed? Lol do you have glass btw?

 

I was hitting the bed part of wheel well yes, not fenders, and I do have fiberglass fenders

 

Mainly if you look at that last photo there is nowhere to mount a shock outboard unless the axle itself is wider, there is no room outside the ubolts. Its a lot easier to move your shocks off the back of the axle, like Total Chaos style lower mounts, and your smog shouldn't be in the way

 

fuck it's tight in there... what size shocks are you running ? And did you run hydro bumps ? Seems like there is basically no room but i guess we will see. Jeff said he could make it happen. I guess he ran into problems mounting them inboard because of the charcoal cansister and they would be basically vertical which he didn't like.

 

If he has done it he may have some tricks, but yeah its tight. I have 2.5 shocks and just rubber bumps when I had SUA

 

How long of shocks ? And yea man idk I guess we will see. It would suck going a wider axle though, I'll be wider in the rear than the front since I'm only mid travel
