2500 or 3500 vs 1500

When looking at that picture, look at the rectangular shaped metal piece under the bolt head, on your truck it is oval shaped, that's a cam eccentric bolt. When the bolt is turned, that oval turns and pushes the control arm, and that bolt moves in that slot that you will be punching out (if it hasn't been punched before).

Those controls Camber, the inward and outward tilt of the wheel.

so i have to upgrade to the rectangluar piece or the oval is fine as long as the part of the control arm beneath had been punched?

Can't TylerZ281500 put a 3" body lift on his truck and get close to the same stance? I have a 3" lift and sit a bit higher than a 2500.

 

[TylerZ281500]

if i do a body lift ill have to bedliner the whole bottom, and i dont have a grand to spend on a lift, i was just thinking stock parts cause theres probably a couple in the pick n pull yard

You can get a body lift for a couple hundred bucks. Get the rubberized coating in a spray can and your all set for less than $300 and about 3 hours of time.

im not sticking with my 33's though, but out of curiosity do you have any links? and i hate undercoating, but its better than nothing i guess

No you keep the OE oval plates. That picture was just to show you where the knockouts are, they are under the rectangle plates. Factory is a perfect hole so with the knockouts out it will be elongagated.

IMO a bodylift will be a better option for if you dont mind some frame showing. Its cheaper in the long run vs. running cranked.

im not sticking with the mudding 33's though so do you think a good set of road tires in the same ballpark of size would look good still?

I dont have any pics on here of the truck right now. I would run out and take some but it's FU**ING SNOWING!!!!
I have 285's on and very close to rubbing the fender in front and back. From the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender I have 8.5" of gap.

 

[TylerZ281500]

arent 33's around the same as 285's, i dont know the conversion scale. i think mine used to rub, and that why my fender is notched out
