Leafs backwards ?

1 Attachment(s)

Got this truck almost 2 yrs ago.. Did a bunch of work along with new suspension bushings n 4" lift... Got a smoking deal on 35's yesterday n got em mounted today... Noticed my rear wheel sits way forward... I measured the leaf n its only a 1/4" differance... I'm not OCD but I definitely don't like it like this..,

Re: Leafs backwards ?

Yea that's a common sight issue with these. It kicks the rear forward some. More pronounced the higher it is. Stock it's not noticed. Although that one seems more than usual. Might just be the angle. You can always move rear end back the correct amount to make it look line up.

Re: Leafs backwards ?

That's crazy pushed forward. I trimmed a pie piece of the front of the wheel well on my Jimmy. 3/4" wide or so at the front tapering to zero about 6" up.

When I did the semi-float 14 bolt swap, I drilled another hole in top of spring perch and moved the axle back about an inch.

In your case, the ORD zero rate as mentioned above is where I would start.
