Check Scoggin Dickey. Since you are out of state, you don't have to pay sales tax.

Ok guys after driving the crew for a couple months i got tired of it dragging everywhere so i raised it up a couple inches. Thanks too Anthony(classic87) i purchased a set of used stock springs and this time i only cut 3/4 of a coil. While i was in there i put new lower ball joints and a sway bar with all new bushings. My opinion is that it needs to come back down an inch. It rides pretty stiff in the front now so i dont know if i should cut the rest of the 1 coil off or not. What do you think?

Also on inner fenders i was told that 73-79 i think have a higher arch in them for tire clearence and will still bolt up to these body styles. Does anyone know if this true or have heard of this?

Re: Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH!

Re: Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH!
 
yea thats the problem im having dam inner fenders dont have to much clearence.

WillieloRidez 06-23-2010 12:20 PM

Re: Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH!
 
it thought about making some using trailer fenders but if the other ones have a higher arch ill go that route

bharrison1 06-25-2010 10:01 AM

Re: Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH!
