Scrapes a bit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a 5" drop in front and the control arm or maybe it's an A-arm scrapes sometimes. Obviously its not a good thing but HOW BAD is it when it rubs. Other than marking up the metal is something else gonna break? I really don't want to mess anything up. Also do I need to shave some of the front bumstop off or is it ok the way it is? Thanks for the help

I would shave the metal from the arm upwards as much as possible. Then take and use some flatstock to reinforce it. This will make it stronger and give you more clearance. I have a set of factory lower arms if you are interested.
