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

I'll have to try that next time I have it cracked open.

 

Uca's installed. I will tell you I am not a fan. I had to best the passenger side bolt out. There was this little flap of metal in the way that I couldn't get to bend up. Going tomorrow to get the alignment re done. Slow speeds it wanders passenger side a lot. Higher speeds it's a lot better. Just hope that tech at firestone didn't quit. Damn he was good.

 

Anyone painted there fender wells after all the cutting and bashing? I d know it shouldn't matter but my hacked up smashed in firewall and pinch weld stick out like a sore thumb. As well as the antenna end.

 

I painted them black...actually recommend it. This way when you see the OEM a color again you know where you are rubbing...

 

After i epoxied it i just spray painted it black.

 

Very good idea actually thanks man. I'll grab some paint after the alignment. I know what me and truck are doing for valentine's

 

Anyone use the energy suspension poly mounts? Mine just came in and was thinking of seeing if I shave the poly off maybe 1/8" , about 1/2" off the plate and cutting my body mount further back where it starts rubbing. My body relocation is coming in soon but wanted to see how far back it can be done with the stock mount before I cut it off. Any opinions?

 

After all the cutting and banging I painted it black too. I habr a pic before paint which look pretty bad, a lot less obvious in black

 

You can cut the stock mount up a lot....

 

Not 35" tire related but figured I'd share this ! That rear bumper =

 

Looks like you got LT, do you hit your body mount? If you do you can turn you body mount bolt locations and get the outer bolt out of the way! Its 85-90% to lock that I rub ( without LT) wich I just learned pushes your wheelbase forward.

 

I do have a +2 LT kit...so I'm a good bit away from my cab mount. Probably didn't need to cut as far back as I did but it was easier to just do so incase I had rubbage. I clear everything at full lock/bump/droop only thing I'm currently rubbing is the top of the fender well which should self clearance after a few hard hits.

 

I painted mine black. I think I'm going to try some rustoleum pro undercoat. It is supposed to be rubberized, so I was hoping it would resist chipping from rocks, like the paint does. And hopefully it won't be as loud when my tire slings a big ole rock into the fender, holy cow that's loud!

 

I know that feel.

 

Thats good to know, with 1.5" wheel spacer close to lock I hit the mount right in the center wjere the rubber mount is. I can shave another maybe 1/2" off but that might not be enough on up travel while steering at full lock which is why i ordered a mount relocation kit. Can you steer into the mount at full lock?

Edit: I like your truck! Looks good why is it other truck allways look better than yours?

 

You think everyone else's truck looks better then yours because yours is old news, you see it everyday and you know all the flaws. It's like the hot chick next door. She's gorgeous, works out, drives a corvette, talks to you about sports, etc ........ And everyday you come home to your girl, who has all the exact same qualities, but she's old news, you see and sleep with her everyday and you def know all her flaws. You covet things you like and see everyday but don't have

 

I think I just need a paitjob on my fenders and new flares I made
No girl to come home to yet and my next door neighbor is a dude... dont swing that way

 

Hang with the dude and pickup chicks. We all need a wingman! :couch:

 

chicks dig trucks with 35s on a 3" lift w/o BODY LIFT so i hear.

 

Thats why I keep the bat in the truck. The heck with beating the tires, gotz da beat dem bisches off ma bumpa!
