I installed a 1" axle block spacer to get rid of the retarded left front side lean of these trucks. My OCD thanks me now haha.
I know right? it pissed me off for a while too.. I have a 1 inch spacer for the front spring left from when I did mine a while ago.
Haha you betcha! Even my buddies lifted Chevy has a lean, I don't get why the manufacturers would do this chit to us lol.
its because of the soft ride bs they tried to implement.
Droppped it off the trailer dyno.

Sorry bud, that really sucks. Did the ramp slip off or did you come off the ramp?


The ramp front metal hook that hooks on to the trailer broke, the weld was a crappy weld.

You can see how porous it was.
That's awful. Sorry to hear.

Sucks, but it's life.

Installed a 2" level with 4" blocks in the rear to keep the stock amount of rake.

Finally took those hideous 18" wheels & tires off the truck. I have a little bit of rubbing backing out of my driveway when I lock the wheels. A small amount of trimming is needed on the fender liner.

That sucks. What a pain in the ass. Hope it turns out ok.



I'm really sorry bud, that is a damn nice truck!


Thanks guys! I try to keep the truck nice, sucks when something like this happens, truck still looked really good for 90k miles.

OEM fender flares will cover the fender damage. To repair the damage by replacing the fender will force me to blend the door. I don't want that.

I'll just have the shop pay for a set of OEM flares painted. Then a new bumper and valence. The shop owner lucked out honestly. It could've been way worse... I'm easy going, so I didn't make a big deal like most people would.

Had the oil changed, ran it through the car wash and drove it to the storage lot to rest for a few weeks until we get it out to drive it pulling the Silver Surfer to Jeep Beach!

How did you get it off? Throw it in reverse build up some boost and floor it? LOL How does the ramp attach it doesn't look like the ramp has a lip.

There's a lip where my tire is,

I used two floor jacks. One went under the radius arm, I lifted the tire till I had a foot under it. I put the ramp directly under the tire And lifted the ramp where I could slide floor jack number 2 under the front of the ramp. I then lifted the ramp with the floor jack till it was almost back to its original position. Truck rolled down the ramp nice and easy.
