SoSloSoLow · 12-24-2001, 06:19 PM

s10rz350 · 12-24-2001, 07:34 PM

I didnt have any problems until I got to 4" I did trim down the rubber a little bit. (pointy end)

ok i've read this a couple of times but i'm a lil nervous about cutting the back bumps off the frame espessially if it doesnt help.....i have a 00 xtreme with a 3" drop in back with blocks if i cut the bumps completely off will i be safe with the stock shocks?! i want my factory ride back but i dont wanna smash the axle and frame together...THANKS!

98 SS ON NOS · 02-26-2002, 09:25 PM

you will be fine. just bend the brake line that sits on top of teh axle toward the back a llittle. i do that on all the trucks. because on mine the evap tank came down and cut the line, if you bend it forward its no prob

CynicX · 02-26-2002, 09:29 PM

i dont mean to sound like a dumbass but which line is that the one that is mounted to the top or the one that tees?....and bend it forward?
maybe you have a pic in your archieve?

I cut the brackets off this weekend. Great instructions. Just follow these step by step and it should work great for you. I used a air grinder but it worked just as good....

This is great.

One guy says "Look what I did" and everyone else does it. Since the frame is all I have from the cab back I think I'll join in too.

Thanks 98 SS on NOS!! Great how-to.
