It ended up looking just like the picture of Holmaas' setup. The bottom of the tire is at the same level as the recently re-installed reciever.
Junk,
I'd really like one of Christo's rear bumpers, but I am a bit short on cash and have bad credit. Want to give me some cash? :tear:
I already have the nuts (I hope Junk doesn't read this). Yesterday I tried stacking 8 high and it was just a little too high to reach the lowering thingy. Today I will be trying 6. BTW the nuts are about 3/8" thick each so this should provide an adequate lift.
That is perfect Beo. Tonight when I realized the amount of work need to fab up the brackets I imagined something like this. Now I just need to figure out exactly how high I can go with it.
Thanks!!!
Beo,
I think I have devised a way to raise the tire sufficiently. It looks as though it must go at least 4" and no more than around 5" up. What I worry about is how high the tire lowering doohicky will be once I relocate it. Any pictures of Holmaas' setup would likely help immensely. I...
I currently have my spare in the truck and have removed the spare carrier from under the truck. I need all the space I can get for an upcoming move. If this will work I will likely leave it as a permanent arrangement until I can afford a new rear bumper.
So the question is, will it work?
