What kinda of TRUCK scrapes on speed bumps

Good point those are some big ass speed bumps. I'll have to check to see what is hitting or how low it gets when its fully loaded.

The shitty part is my previous vehicle was a lowered M3 and I constantly drove over those exact bump and I would scrape but if they are really that big I should have been stuck. "Mind bottling"

 

Thank you all for your help.

Sorry I should have been a little more clear, the scrapes are not on the exhaust end they are on the pipe near the transfer case. The pipe pretrudes lower than the transfer case cage and that is where there are scrape marks.

 

Have you taken your truck off road? I still think it's the flaps.

 

How large are your passengers? Either you have some HUGE people riding with you or those are destined to be the worlds largest speed bumps.

 

lose some weight fatty

 

Its the mud flaps... or 9 inch speed bumps, can you tell me where these are i wanna try them. jk

 

Dude, I fly over speed bumps I had to crawl about 3mph or less with my G35 in (and still scrapped)... When I say fly, I've done about 70+ on these, and they're fucking nasty bumps about 4-5" high. I've never even come close to scraping anything but the flaps, even out at Butcher Jones...

 

My Taco fell into a pothole the other day and scraped something underneath. Saw the pothole at the last second and slowed to a crawl, but the thing must have been three feet across and at least a foot deep..maybe closer to two feet. I need to get underneath and see what it scraped, but it was definitely NOT the mudflap. I'm thinking it was either my skid plate or the lower A-arm.

 

I think that goes slightly beyond a pot hole... more like a cave in.

 

My 06 never scraped even before the lift. But my 2010s front flap are scrapping constently on any sort of dip in the road. It's drivin me nuts. Are the newer trucks flaps any longer that u know of?

 

I have a 2010 4x4 SR5 and mine does the SAME thing at the speed bumps in my apartment complex. This is the only time it does it and it really doesn't sound like mud flaps. It sounds like metal scraping againt concrete or whatever the speed bumps are made of. It doesn't do it everytime, but sometimes if I even just creep over ther bump it will scrape with just me in the truck and no, I'm NOT overwieght. Who knows, maybe it is the flaps though it sounds like it's comming from the middle underneath the truck. Any ideas?

 

The mud flaps DO sound like metal on metal. I had the same problem myself (except when dropping off of 4 inch or so curbs), and I swore there was no WAY it could be the flaps. Even made a thread about it.

Took the flaps off. Never had another "scrape" again. Seriously, its the flaps!

 

R u eligible for the rear leaf tsb? May help.

 

I had the problem in vegas staying at Harrah's...If anyone has ever driven through their parking lot, the speedbumps are like mountains...I was glad that the skidplate came with the truck, otherwise I'd be pretty pissed...

And to those who might say it's the flaps, it isn't...The scraping happened when the front of my truck was just over the bump (I crawl over bumps, I'm not trying to break anything).


When the wife asked what the scraping was, I told her that is the reason why I want a lift on the truck

 

You could try the 3in mud flap mod I did and no more scrape.

 

Just hit the bumps at high speed and no problem

 

Yea some times my mud flaps will scrap the speed bump that's probably what it is.

 

Lets just say the speed bumps at the Aunt Betties Counter store are really high. If I roll into them real slow and let the suspension bounce after the bump (almost stopped) the front mudflaps will crash straight down onto the speed bump. It sounds awful! I looked at the flaps and the ones on my 2011 look way longer than the 06 (to me). I will measure later when I get home, but i bet they don't have 5 inches of clearance from the bottom of front mudflap to the pavement.

 

Ha! Just finished work there. Our box van didn't like em either.

 

Apparently , yours .
