This is not a members truck but I thought I'd post pics of it because, after all, it's a Quadcab. It was sitting in the tireshop parking lot when I had the tires put on my 4x4. It gave me a good idea of what mine was gonna look like when it was done too because it had 33x12.50 tires with a 3"BL.

:huh: One thing on it was weird though. Take a look at the front bumper and lower valance alignment to the fender. WTF??? Only thing I can fiquire is he moved the front bumper outwards to get rid of a rubbing problem. I guess if it works it works?

:huh: I'm definately not ever coming to your house now Adam. I just keep getting deeper and deeper.

Oh yeah ...... The reason the truck was there? The rear diff cover was off so he munched something in the rear end.

Has to be to kill the rub. And really unless you look close off hand the adverage person would never pick up on it.

Thats a nice looking QC. I don't think most people would even notice the line being off and if it gets rid of the rub that would be great. I wish I would have thought about that with mine. It would have been even less noticable with mine being black.

I wonder what and how much you would have to modify to move it slightly?

I did something similar to mine, but to a lesser extent. With the body lift bumper relocation brackets, you can "pull" the front bumper forward to eliminate "rubbing" during turns. You can se it in my avatar photo.

I did an oil change this weekend and was playing around with this. It looks like you would have to fab a new bracket. But really it does not look that hard.
Will we have a race to see who makes the homebrew first.

Not necessarily too hard to do. With the bumper relocation brackets that came with the Perf. Acess. body lift kit, most of the holes are large enough to allow a 1/4" of play. The lower factory bolts have some give to them as well. If yours don't just ream the holes out larger with a drill and push the entire bumper assembly forward to give the needed room. All I did was bend the brackets forwars another 1/4" to give me the room I needed. No rubbing at all from lock to lock.
