Very nice

progress

[tiddlar]

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?

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.

eek that would be a 2000 fix.....

[tiddlar]

This truck seems to have the wheels tucked in kind of like mine. the other pic from the back looks good......

[RockinKees]

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.

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

yes it is actually. hoping its just the angle . check this on out though....

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.

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

since these fenders are round unlike the 55-59 years which are square. the tire is 1/2 inch from touching where the fender starts to round off. its growing on me. the video he took put me at ease.

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

[RockinKees]

Yeah, looks good!
You see, just a bit more pics and you're good with it

Tiddlar, I can't believe with this much progress you haven't laid eyes on the truck yet. If it was me I wouldn't be able to sleep! How far away is it from you?

Right? I don't have the kind of doe to get a flight go look hotel and fly back... Took me a while to save for all these parts and work... I'm in Tucson Az and truck is in Joplin mo. Truck is about month to month and half from being done with sheet metal and chassis stage.

[DeanTX]

Well the pics help you a lot then. Keep them coming!
