OR:
Question - what is the clearence between the CPP adjustable track arm and rear cover with 5" drop springs?

Re: Rear Cover

If this fits, it's going to be extreamly close becuase with a stock pan, there might be a room to put a finger between the cover and bar.

Re: Rear Cover

I have one of those covers on my 84 GMC truck, and I would believe that you would have a spacing problem with the panhaard bar. There is a definite difference in the depth of the factory and this cover.

Re: Rear Cover

It is the 36" bar that CPP custom bent for the truck.

Re: Rear Cover

I ran into the same problem and fabricated an offset trac bar from 1" plate and using the CPP adjustable unit for the ends. Once you bend or offset the bar you have to make it real strong.
