Wait till I can get the plastic fixed for the rear bumper then see what you think... I have never just been a fan of the whole hitch alot lower than the bumper.

I always thought my 37s look really small. Are you saying the 36s are taller? Im looking for 38s or 40s and now im kinda of scared to see if the 40s will fit or not... I know the 38s will fit no problem...

also i wonder how much fabtech drops the diff. cause those cv angles look harsh.


Do they look bad? Ive never had any problems as of yet... Do you have any pictures of your cv angles? Im interested to see whats decent on a lifted truck? also how can I fix them? Will a bigger tire make it any better?

The torsion bars are cranked too high thus causing the cv shaft to have a higher angle in relation to the output from the front diff. Decranking the front keys and realigning the truck will set it about 1" lower but it would ride considerable nicer and puts less stress on drivetrain components. Kid that used to work with us had a 6" fabtech cranked to shit on his dmax and broke a few shafts, rode like shit too

Pass side cranked:

Your angles aren't nearly as bad but its ******* parts running the suspension like that.

Nah their not real bad, your probably just running about an inch too much of crank on the front end. I dont know if i have a pic, but i will try to find one. The down side is just premature wear on ball joints, tierods and cv's, but honestly so many people run with more aggressive crank than that i wouldnt worry. however if you plan on running some heavy ass tires like 38's its just going to increase the wear and chances of broken parts so consider relieving the keys a little bit to run flatter. Also post up some pics when you fab up a bumper gap guard! should look good.
