:hmm: so what suspension are ya running ? I'm up around 8"+ with longarms and I don't have any problems . Your shocks aint mounted upside down are they , as in the shock body end is mounted to the body ? Pics ......

I run 6.25" in front on short arms causing the axle to swing back a lot more under droop with 11" suspension travel and have no issues with shock clearance or the shocks bending.

I think you need limit straps on the suspension.

I'm runningg rustys 8.5-9 longarm with a 1 inch spacer with 14inch 5125 bilestiens as it drops out and the axle moves down my shock will end up hittin the unibody forcing the shock to bend

how do you upload photos?

[Dirteatr717]

You need to use a host website like flickr, photobucket, tinypic, Facebook and copy the link and paste it in-between these tags--> just click the Img button in the toolbar above and tahdah

 

Also is there a need for over 10" of lift? Is just the driver side shock hitting? If so you need to adjust your trackbar so the axle sits a hair more towards the driver side or relocate the axle side shock mounts out further.

What's the part number of the 5125 Bilsteins you have on and what is the "at rest" measurement between the mounting points?

[CoryMJ89]

no its both sides driver and passenger side that hit

and idk ill have to look there from trail gear..

and at rest?

[HOrnbrod]

At rest = measurement between the upper and lower mounting points with the truck stopped and sitting on flat ground. The Bilstein part number is stamped on the body.
