I got like 80 psi in the bags because I had it loaded down with the wheels an tools an all. Had sick kiddos so I had to grab everything an do it at the house. I probably should have just waited but they had been sitting long enough

That explains it. Will they tuck once you drop that pressure?

Love it. Nice to see a design other than round holes.

Custom cuts add 6-800 to the total, that's why most people don't do it.

It's gonna be tight, but it looks like they will. I'll check it tomorrow. Honestly as much as I hate too I probably need to raise it about an inch. Going to trim the flares more an see how that does first though.
If I had went direct bolts I'd probably have a little more clearance too.

Yep, but they also rub on both sides.


And on the helper bag mounts...

And on the front fenders even after trimming flares, rolling the fenders etc...

Guess the stocks are going back on

Gawdam thats nice, im really digging the w/t grill on that truck for some reason. Are you running 265/35s on it?

What tire size(s) are you running?

 

[bluex]

265/40, I know that's part of the problem. I saw multiple people on 5/7 drops with them though. Guessing theirs isn't a real 5/7 an mine measures out to 5.5/8.

The helper bags are rubbing because I'm using them to raise the rear of the truck up over the fenders. They clear at ride height an are designed to keep the truck there with a load. So by raising it up that creates the interference. I've got to trim the rear fenders, then the tires shouldn't rub an I won't need air in the bags. I was wanting to be able to keep about 40 psi in them though so it didn't look like it was squatting.

An while I'm under there looking at all this, I noticed a leak. It's my new heater core

I run about 15 in the helpers on my daily NBS 1500, that seems where they're happy. You can grind the fenders or they'll smoke like a sumbitch going down the road.
