Re: purgatorio

I havent seen my truck in person, this is really bothering me. The back wheels seem to fit too far from fender. The wheels are huge and would hit where the fender starts to curve. Im trying to see if we could rig something to where the chassis doesnt go as low and maybe get some spacers. Who knows maybe its just the angle of the picture. What do you guys think?

Re: purgatorio

That does look like a lot of space between the tire and the fender. A wider wheel or one with less back space could be another solution.

Re: purgatorio

Just ask for more pictures.
Then you know what to do.

The rearwheel of the blue one looks great!
I think you're not far off.

hopefully its just me with my obnoxious eye, yea the blue looks very similar,, the other angle the truck looks great. if not im hopping a 38 mm spacer would do the deed.

Re: purgatorio

The fourth pic in post #53 is the rearwheel right?
That doesn't look bad to me.

Re: purgatorio

I was thinking about this one....how much clearance does the tire have to the fender when lowered like pics in post 53? That is probably the limiting factor on being closer to the outside edge.

That has to be it... I didn't do a radically dropped build, but I also became aware of the sucked in look of the track on many IFS systems out there. Almost all are based on a 56.5 to 57" track (basically stock). When I did mock-ups at various drops with 235/70 tires (7" rims -4" backspace) noticed that with a 59" track, the tires didn't looked sucked in and also looked more centered in the fender. However, I only did a 2" drop with a 59" track - going really low could cause clearance problems to the fender where it rolls back in.

Note: I think Scott's offers various track withs for dropped ADs. Heists used to offer a 60" track option. Those firms might know more about clearance issues.

well,, fingers crossed, that fender is not bolted down yet and still has to be lowered. notice how there is no gap from fender to top of bedside.

Re: purgatorio

if its close, add a longer bump stop between your frame and your axle.

Re: purgatorio

He's doing a lot of modification for this truck to sit on the ground. These are just pics... The video did show me a lot ... Thank you all who have suggested. Highly appreciate your knowledge gentlemen.

Re: purgatorio

Looks good...You might be able to run a 1" spacer and get the look you want. But the truck is looking great.

I appreciate that thank you. He sent me that video of the rear, im running 29 inch tall tires. he had to lift the bed 2.5 inches.. and he will elongate the fenders. this thing will be on the ground. alot of modification for that. It looks good so far i think. I cant wait to see it in person... im not freaking out as much anymore lol
