Dimension-wise yeah.

 

Well the 99 sport does not have the air dam like we do, it is molded into it, this might be his problem. The older sports might have more clearance than the 99+ sports bumper.

 

Wow... Welcome to the Canadian Army, where equipment is second to everyone and our computers are as old as our helicopters...

Looking at this: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=h...ed=0CDMQ9QEwBA

It looks like the front tire wells are the same. So, I won't be letting them trim anything yet. Even if the hub is pushed out .5", and my BS is 4", 4.5" - with a 16x10" rim, I should still be good, no?

I dunno... I was expecting them to complain about a rusted or siezed bolt or hub assembly, not call about fender trimming so wasn't ready for that. Figured it'd all be good.

 

After looking at the pix you sent me, there is a good chance the shop is right. The sport bumper for your year truck drops farther down than the non-sport trucks. It will be close me thinks. I am going out to take some measurements to compare the two trucks bumpers.

 

Just got off the phone with the shop, they are saying the tires are going to rub on the BACK side of the front fenders. Maybe a little bit on the front bumper. Said they put the tires on and lowered it to the ground. Said they stick out too much, so not quite sure.

 

Gonna hit the fender, or the liner? Liner can be reformed to push it back out of the way further. (it's just plastic, heat it up, reform it, let it cool, done.)

 

Honestly, not sure. I'm still at work. I intend to try and get there soon enough after work.

 

Alright, Julia (GF) stopped off on the way from picking up the car from the shop (kind of one of those days...)

She took this picture:


And they told her that on the read of the fender, you can see where it is a bit darker. Apparently they have to trim back to there, then up a fair amount and of course in.

That seems like... quite a bit considering no one else has to do this type of trimming. I'm wondering if they could not just adjust the cam bolt and move the axle forward a bit...

Sorry I couldn't edit the picture in paint or something to be more clear, working between phone and computer.

 

I, personally, would tell them to do their work and I'd deal with the trimming myself later.

 

I'll be getting true 35x12.50s in spring and I'm pretty sure my backspacing is 3.75 so hopefully they work with 0 rub.

What gears are you getting put in?
