2nd Gen 4x4 35s 3" Lift w/o BODY LIFT

I really need it lol.

 

Lol well lets see if this helps.

All I did was start with some cardboard and got the rough size and shape. Then cut that shape out of plastic. I then trimmed around bumps and bolts so I could tuck it up as high as possible so it isn't visible. I used simple L-brackets to hold it it up. I had to drill a few holes into the engine bay but whatever.





You can see that I had to cut the liner in half. I couldn't get it hot enough to mold the way I wanted but thats probably because I was working outside in 40 degree weather . Once it gets into the 80's Ill probably redo it so its a solid piece. There is a small piece you can see hanging a bit low, I need to just mold the plastic right there. It wedges against the fender and I thought that would be enough. Simple fix though. I want to redo this side again anyways to make cleaner cuts and see if I can't get it super snug.

 

I can gusset them myself, just didn't know how necessary It was since I won't be jumping it. I'll do it!

 

Ok so what is this stuff

 

1/8 UHMW

 

So.... I cut the rear fenders last night what the hell do i do with the rear support? It's just flopping back there

 

I let mine go . I figured I would be ok until I ordered the high clearance rear but I was wrong. It ripped from the bottom up to the tail light with Wyoming wind. Luckily I caught one side as it went slightly above where I have to cut for the HC.

I contacted pelfrey about ordering the bumper and he sent me his bed side supports and those have worked out perfect.

 

I put mine in a vice and bent it a bit to sill work (if you are referring to the one on the front side of the fenders)

 

No mine is the back.

Only thing I can think if is drilling a hole in the bottom of the fender and using an l bracket to re attach it further back

 

I am pretty sure you can attach the stock ones with some minor changes. The only reason I didn't is because I left them at my parents.

 

Don't waste your money on fancy bedside supports, I made one with pieces of scrap aluminum bent on a vice and drilled into the bedside/bed

 

That's what I was talking about

 

Yeah if you don't have a high clearance bumper just modding the stock ones will work just fine. I did something similar to that with my front ones, just cut them off and bent them to shape, then rewelded back on.

 

On a DCSB you can leave the front ones off. There's so little material there that it's rigid enough and doesn't flop in the wind.

 

Still gotta add the trim but came out half way decent

 

much better.

 

Great job!

 

That came out super clean! I am going to be putting my flares back on next weekend hopefully. I just need to find the link to the fender clips again and order some.

 

Looks great!

After looking at trucks with cut flares/fenders stock ones seem huge!!

 

X2...unless you go back to stock...
