Re: Yet another GMC build

What they don’t tell you about c4 suspension swaps!!!!

If you look, not only are the cab body lines higher than the bed, but the distance from the body line down to the fender lip is farther on the rear. No big deal if you have a solid axle. If you have IRS it will make getting a 4 wheel alignment super fun. Only 1 in 5 tire shops I tried had a machine that would slip in the wheel and not hit the fender lip. I’m going to raise the rear arches 1.5” so the distance from the body line to fender lip matches the front. Hoping that and setting the top of the tire right at the bottom of the lip will stop getting me turned out from alignment bays. And that my truck won’t have that ultra raked stink bug stance.
