belowme51 · 04-19-2011, 04:56 PM

if you need pics or anything with the body drop let me i can help you out cheby. I will have a 265-35-22 mounted with the dropmember and body drop and can show you exactly how much that tire sticks up from the fender. pm me if you need some help with this.

**67cheby** · 04-20-2011, 10:24 AM

Hottrucks · 04-20-2011, 10:47 AM

**67cheby** · 04-20-2011, 10:53 AM

Hottrucks · 04-20-2011, 11:22 AM

ok here is a little progress test fitting them on a truck with stock firewall and powersteering

SCOTI · 04-21-2011, 09:56 AM

Nice!

**67cheby** · 04-21-2011, 10:11 AM

Greatly appreciated Sir !!

**lolife99** · 04-21-2011, 10:19 AM

Excellent job!
How much backspacing is required on a 20x8, 20x8.5, or 22x8.5 inch wheel to get the "entire tire" inside this step in the wheel tub?

I know on member Supeflysteiny's thread,... he is trimming the inside lip of the hood to clear his tires.
This is the only area I am worried about.
(comparison pic from n2billet's truck)

Also,... let me know when you have a set ready to sell.
I'm probably going to need to purchase a set.

**67cheby** · 04-21-2011, 10:28 AM

that is a question i am not sure how to answer there is going to be so many variances....example if you are running stock with drum brakes, or if you are running a Dropmember, or if you are running disc brakes (it will be wider), or if you are running CPP's SOS spindles....there are so many combinations of front stuff that i dont know how to answer this. Here is my solution as soon as i get a set of the LOW HUMP'S produced i will take a set of them and start the modifications for the HIGH HUMP version on this set , the area you are concerned with will be taken away and hood trimming will be Necessary as my intentions are for this set to clear up to 31 inch tall combinations with pretty much any back space combination.. i guess what i will do is when i get the first set of these produced i will get them bolted up on my truck with my wheels and tires and do the measurements and let everyone go from there !! it would be very easy to modify this area if you wanted to trim your hood i just wanted to make this first set like i had intended for my truck not to have to modify the hood at all ......... i hope that kind of answers your question , Thanks Mike

**67cheby** · 04-21-2011, 10:30 AM

also as far as N2billets if his came up as far as mine he would have to have a step there also , his stop where my step starts

**67cheby** · 04-25-2011, 02:25 PM

drivers side ready for paint

**lolife99** · 04-25-2011, 03:30 PM

VERY nice!
Can you make a template for the fender?
(to show the exact area that has to be trimmed on each side?)
I can wait to see the first set out of the mold.

**67cheby** · 04-26-2011, 10:23 AM

yes there will be a "CUT HERE" template !! should be a quick job to put them on !

You know you'll need to qualify that statement somehow.....

**67cheby** · 04-26-2011, 11:13 AM

For the "AVERAGE" shade tree mechanic ...these should be a NO-BRAINER !!! Hows that ?? LOL

m6z · 04-26-2011, 12:49 PM

fenders are looking good. Might have to get a set for my truck when they are available.

**67cheby** · 04-26-2011, 01:24 PM

PLEASE DO , i Love your truck and i would make me proud to see my fenders in it !!....i hope these fill a need for alot of people that are in my situation.. i wanted something to keep the water out of the engine compartment without compromising the look under the hood and something that would bolt into the factory bolt holes !!

**67cheby** · 05-18-2011, 01:22 PM
