Here's my story...

I ordered 4" lift spindles for my truck and 35" tires. The tires will be here Thursday and the spindles will be here Monday. My current tires are 33's and are pretty much shot. I'm going out of town next weekend and I NEED the 35's on the truck to make the trip.

My problem....

I was dicking around under the truck today and noticed a name brand imprinted on my "stock" spindles....."FABTECH". ----, god damn it, ---- ---- god damn, I already have 3" lift spindles on my truck. So my new spindles are only going to give me a 1" lift in the front which isn't exactly going to clear 35" tires. Not only that, I really need to uncrank my torsions at least an inch to fix my shitty steering angles so I can get a proper alignment and not eat up my brand new tires. So if I put the 4" spindles on and uncrank the torsions 1" I'll be right back where I started which won't even be close to clearing 35" tires.

My solution.....

Ok, so I don't really have a solution yet. I found a 3" body lift for a very good price, but body lifts are gayer than spandex. A 3" body lift will clear my 35" tires though.

Any suggestions?


Oh yeah, while I was ------- around under the truck today I found out what happened that night I got drunk, fell off the roof and hit an unknown object. The frame on my truck is all fucked up where the body bolts to it. I ------- smashed something hard to bend that ----. I wonder WTF it was?

Body lifts are def gay but what about a 1" or 2" just enough so you can clear the tires or get some bushwacker type flares that will give you more room to clear tires.The ones that actually give more tire clearance requiring trimming sheet metal which I imagine you might not be comfortable with as your truck is pretty new.

I sold the stock rims and tires as soon as I got the new rims and tires.


They sell kits to fix all that ----, but they aren't cheap. Other than the steering this truck is ------- awesome and I wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle.






1-2" might not be enough to clear. Fender flares are gayer than body lifts, but those won't even fix my problem because the tires will rub on the lower part of the inside fender and the lower part of the front bumper and valance. I already had to trim the front valance a bit.

Cancel your order and go bigger?
what was so hard about that?

put a dana 60 under the front a t-case and 4 link setup with 14 inch travel king coil over shocks. 35's and gm's steering will own your *** in parts. ---- I might as well put some swampers on my wagovan :P

---- them coming out the back. Have them come straight out the hood, who needs mufflers. Sad thing is theres quite a few trucks in South Jersey like this.
