    Yeah something is wrong if the spring is angled like that. Were the shackle hangers bolted on or welded?

    Camburg's kit is bolt on, so they bolted it on, and then stitch welded the hangers inplace.

    Also, apparently, I can't read a tape measure. :laugh: I looked at my pictures of the perch locations again, and they're different by 3/8", not 9/16". Still wrong but not as horrible.

    Problem is you're on the east coast where people build mud trucks and rock bouncers, not prerunners. But make your list, contact camburg with your questions and go back to the fab shop for either money back or a redo on their dime.

    Believe me, I wish I was still in NM. However, if I still was, I wouldn't be making the money to afford this.

    I've already contact Camburg and Archive Garage, so that's all sorted. I emailed the owner of the shop about an hour ago. I'll give him a day or two to respond.

    Good luck man. I'm nervous as I start my install this weekend. Hoping everything goes right, on both ours. Hopefully they get it all squared away for you.

    I’m having fan to fan should shroud clearance issues after installing my DTF motor mounts, and most recently the trans mount.

    I’m thinking it’s time I cut my losses and possible damage to the truck and remove them, unless someone has a solution.

    I did an install of DMZ motor mounts a few weekends ago that went in without a fight and had no clearance issues.

    A second vote for DMZ. Their stuff is great. As can be seen here with me testing out some valving changes. https://instagram.com/p/BpLJDFwgOJb/

    Nice where abouts is that? Spent some time on the North Rim a couple weeks back. Really enjoyed the mountains there.

    It's the cinders in flagstaff. Kinda like the dunes, but then not like the dunes. The entrance is around the corner from my house so it's like my backyard. Need to adjust the rear bypasses and see if I can keep the rear from bucking, but it was pretty damn good.

    I don’t think anyone makes a production bolt on rear tube bumper like your talking about. Here’s a few real simple ones I’ve made. I’m sure you could have your fabricator whip something up.

    Honestly, if you have access to a bender, I think that would be your best bet.
