Need help--95 ext cab dually
Just a little history, in 85 I had one of the 1st full size Chevy's slammed around Atlanta. Since then there's been several other lowered trucks & various other customs and over the last 15-20 years I built several Restmods and Mid-Year Corvettes.
The new story is, I recently purchased a 95 GMC Extra Cab Dually, Supercharged 454, rear axel flip, c-notched, rear helper air bags and supposedly front spindles. I feel this is a VERY nice truck. Now the problem-- This thing is driving me crazy, Almost every time I hit any kind of bump, dip in the road, drive around perimeter,ect. the front tires bang into the frt inner fenders. I realize I've got a lot older since have lowered trucks but, all I hear is how great everybody's lowered dually rides and this thing rides like crap. My 68 Impala wagon drives & rides like a dream. I REALLY need some input on this guys as I love the truck but I can't keep going like this. I also realize that with what info I have on the truck it may be hard to diag but PLEASE offer any suggestions you may have. I feel like the back of the truck is fine other then it needs shocks (suggestions welcome) but, I have to do something with the front end. I don't want to go with a full bagged suspension. Again, any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated |

How much drop would you estimate the truck has? Any pics you can show us to get an idea of what you're working with?

Yes, I'd like to see, too. Are your shocks in the front worn? May be hitting front fenders when bottoming out...pics may help.

Re: Need help--95 ext cab dually
I think it's a 5/7 drop as the rear end is c notched and bagged. The shocks on the frt are supposed to be brand new.
