i was just curious if anyone has trouble hitting the brackets that hang down off your frame. they are the ones that hold up the crossmember for the carrier bearing. this would only be on an extended cab i think. but anyway, thats one of the first things that i rub on.

Of course everyone with a 98 plus does, You can get the suicide doors carrier bearing that raises it up and you dont have to worry about that as much. It is not to hard to install as long as you have the right tools. its about 50 bucks, suicidedoors.com

ok, cool i might cut a little off the bottom of the bracked for now, just to get a little more clearance

dont' do that, then you will hit the carrier bearing x-member itself and possibly do some serious damage to your truck.

they are fairly inexpensive and are a life saver with ext cab (and long bed) trucks.

ok, i wont do that, but i looked at the picture on your link, and it looks fairly easy to make yourself, would that be a bad idea?

as long as you are a good welder, there is nothing wrong with building it yourself. Just make sure it all lines up right
