here is a few pics for the SIC crew, doug, i am hoping i can make it over there soon to get those drop spindles and the trim piece. also, have you been able to spot a sway bar at all? i ended up going with 255/35/20 again, but it lays on level ground, and the front needs to come down bout a inch or so.... here is one at ride height...  and laid out....    |

thanks peter and doug, man, the front is rubbing like crazy when its low and im taking a somewhat sharp turn, well, a sharp turn for a mini truck with big wheels. doug, you think there is anyways we would be able to move the shocks? like to the inside, i was looking at it today and i didn't think i saw anywhere to move them to unless we built a bracket to come off the axle on the back side kinda like where the bags would mount for a bag behind axle set up. due to the width of the rims im having a small issue with the shock bolt, well, could be bigger since these tires aren't cheap. and yea, if you could find a sway bar that would be awesome.

frank...he's talking about the rear shocks....lol...
How close are you talking bret, because we may be able to just swap out that bolt for a round shock stud for extra clearance.

doug, you don't my chance remember what size bolt that is do you? i can acutally stop by the hardware store tomorrow or the next day if you know what size it is and pick up one and see how well it works, now that i think about it, i don't think its rubbing that much, by the looks of my tires, i can see where its rubbing, but its not like digging in, but it is rubbing.

I think I mentioned something about this when it was still in the tent.... i think i did to....good job doug, its all your fault...jeez man...anways, if you can remember, then i will see what i can get and then swap out the bolt, if that dont work, then i guess we will need to find another spot for them, you know though, they is a good amount of room between the tire on shock bolt, its just when the rear sways some around turns and corners, you think that putting in a stiffer shock would help, like a lot stiffer shock, that would help it not sway as much, at least i would think |

nah, thats about the stiffest shock I could find....lol. Relocating them shouldnt be to big an issue. If you want to try and roll over saturday, if the weather isnt total crap, we could take a look at it and figgure something out..
