sry, but im fairly new to trucks and wheelin. this appears to stop the tire from moving up any further, but as you can see, the space between it and the bar is only a few inches. can it be taken off for more up/down movement? if i did, the tire would have a bunch more movement, but still have limitation by the big metal thing so it doesn't over flex. would it work, or would it end up in disaster? theres another one on the other side of the truck, but its kind of loose.

 

That would be a bump stop

 

yup, its extended due to your lift

 

so i should leave it?

 

lol rule of thumb, if its not broken dont fix it, plus its not bothering you, so i say leave it

 

No I would leave it. Looks like your shocks are pretty beat up too. Time for some new ones.

 

You can get low profile bump stops, but you definately need one. It is supposed to stop the suspension from travelling too far and breaking things.

ok, what would you suggest? ive got 4in suspension lift, 3in body lift, and 35in BFG m/t tires. something thats not too expensive, but good quality, because im on a tight budget

 

Sounds like you don't need anything lol. Except new shocks.

 

yeah i meant the shocks

 

Oh, sorry. Out of my ballpark, mine are still stockers, so I have no experience. If you use the search button there are plenty of threads that will help you decide. Best of luck.

 

ok thanks for the help

Yep definately break something with it out that and it looks in good shape , I wish I had a lift kit (sulking)

 

lol yeah, i was just makin sure before i went tearin somethin off that i need. i think im gonna go with the bilstein 1500s. thanks for all the help guys!

 

If you want to increase flex I'd suggest installing bj spacers and loosening up the tbar a little... It's a very nice combination and gives 1.5" more wheel travel.

By the way, how are you guys so sure that shock is worn out just because it doesn't have paint on it?

Last time I checked all of the moving parts in a shock were on the inside. I can see a few bad winters eating off all of the paint on the outside on a shock with plenty of life left in it...

 

It looks like its about rusted through!

 

Looks like surface rust to me...

 

A new set of bilsteins would look better and probably ride better regardless...

 

you guys saying he needs new shocks haven't spent too much time on salty roads, have you?
