how did you move the rear bumper 1.5" in, re-drill holes to mount the brackets?

same_me · 05-08-2009, 02:09 PM

Truck looks great. I'd like to know what's involved in moving the bumper in 1.5" myself?

the back has (3) main leafs, and a single "overload" spring for (4) total....ride quality in the rear isnt all that wonderful...i think its those deusch tech shocks maybe?

menace121978 · 05-31-2009, 09:38 PM

thanks bigarmzz... i'm going to look up western chassis on google to see where else i can order from.

you have transformed her into a beauty!
