Redneck were the plastic inner fenders in place during that picture? Those are mostly what I was referring to needing to be cut.

Wow. My front driver side tire slightly rubs the inner fender, and it sits higher than yours. (fender is tweaked, and sits slightly lower than it should). I take it back

I know, right?


The truck was in an accident before I owned it. When I bought it the original core support (Dark green) was pushed in on the drivers side. I found a red one in a JY and swapped it in. But the replacement fender (off a red truck) had been beaten into place to fit with the old core support. Then apparantly someone decided they wanted a red truck, not a green one. At least they painted the door jams to match. Unfortunately the paint is starting to chip in some places, but I think it will last a while longer. Anyway, the fender sits almost right, but not quite. the passenger side doesn't rub at all, just the drivers side. Also, I think I'd rather have a dark green truck. Oh well.

Shouldn't. Get an alignment though.

i used coils out of a v10, as for my earlier post about v10 and diesel springs being the same, i was wrong.

v10 springs and diesel springs have different spring rates. good thing i have a set of diesel coils here that im gonna be swapping in!

to answer you question further, i dont have a part number, they were factory coils, not autopart store replacement.
