great thanks for all the input.. i think trimming the front fenders will be in order soon.
Yep, the LM7 is the 5.3 vortec with the steel block. we were going 105 as indicated on the gps... and that was loaded with a pretty stiff headwind. who know's what it'd do empty with no breeze. i don't really care to find out though..
Cam, I think you are right on the spacers, 1.5" is really too much. the rear is pretty far away from rubbing with them. maybe i'll put it at full flex and see what I can take away. i probably need to lower the front bump stops a bit too since when it is in baja mode the front ujoint hits the oil pan a little bit i noticed. We hit some pretty big bumps on the wide open sections of trail in moab and stuff was hitting.... not just the front fenders.
i'll look up pictures of the front fender trimming now. thanks for the lead on weak-links bulld d'animal
