Since he's not on, I'll answer for him. All he did was cut a little section off of the bottom front bumper valance.

Can you also measure the height of your truck? Maybe from the floor to the bottom of the mirror? I just took some pics, I will get them up in a few minutes.

Thanks, bferrel.

Thumper I remember reading that you got the bilsteins, I also think I read you were going to order king coil overs in a group buy. Is there any chance you want to sell me your bilsteins? Let me know.

Thanks

In the photo below, you need to trim at an angle JUST like this \. It's common sense, just think about what will NOT cause your tires to rub (not intending to be rude). You will need to trim the inside rear fender as well. Can you measure the REAL WORLD diameter of your tires and also measure from the ground to the bottom of your mirror? Thanks.
