It's says SRT-10 but it should work for all gen 3 trucks.

Thanks a very clever solution. I was going to suggest the old Marine battery box mounted in the bed. Cheap and simple..

A lot of $$ and time spent on that ride. Great for Saturday night.

thank you in advance

Deeznutts,
I might be missing something here but you are posting in the 3rd Gen Section. My 3G is running the drop you are and stock 20"x9" rims with 285/50-20 tires. I modified my bump stops to get max travel and not rub on full compression. The other issue that sometimes cause rub is your camber adjustment. I had slight tire rub before getting everything aligned correctly. Good luck....

hmm..my apologies,,i just thought this was a lowered class club for our trucks year non-specific.when i drove my truck off the mechanics and tire shop's parking lot it didnt bottom out(tire-wise) untill 55-60 mph on the highway,and i drove it straight to the the alignment shop,and they aligned it perfectly,now i can just drive down my driveway(which is on a down-hill slope and it hits and i cant get above 15-20 mph on the road without my tires up front hitting the fenders...i dont know what if anything was done to my bump stops as i had a (friend) that owns a shop there at the tire place do my drop for me,as he's done quite a few of them/as well as raising or lift kits,so im sure he knew what he was doing...im going to try and get out and take some pics and you guys can see what kind of clearance i have up front.as im hoping a smaller tire will correct this..

this is just a club area where we accept all lowered rides and even if you were to post in the 3rd gen lowered teck section, you should be answered as there really isnt a lowered section anywhere else....

John, I don't know specifics on the 2G but it doesn't sound right that you are hitting hard just going down the driveway. Sounds maybe you have a broken or blown shock. You are going to need to get personally involved in tuning your suspension unless you have deep pockets. Are your tires hitting the top of the inter fender or the lip on the fender? If it is the inter fender well, then the getting the bumps set correctly should fix the problem. If it is the fender lip, then the tire is too wide or the camber is still off. Pictures would help. Good luck...
