Hate that ****** driverside hanger bolt

 

Me either, you guys think i'll have any fitment probme with the tires? They are 245/50/20

 

I trimmed off some before the threads and when I was trying to drive it out I still couldnt see the end in sight so I just gave up and left it in place. I didn't want to trim into the thread and risk screwing up the bolt.

 

You don't need to trim any of the treads. Just trim off the unthreaded portion. It won't compromise the bolt. If you are that concerned you could always place a new bolt when you reinstall.

 

I've ran 275/45/20 (29.7" tall) tires on 4/6 drop before with no problems... you should be fine. I'm on 29.4" tall tires right now with no problems either

 

Cool, and I was going too cut it off, but I ended up being able to pull the axle far enough the the pass side and just lower the leaf spring down I wasn't too worried about it after that. I painted what I could and moved on.

 

Actually that is the way to do it, just lower the spring from the rear. I wasn't able to do that because my shackle bolts were galled/rusted to the shackle and unable to remove. Had to cut the bastards out.

 

Got the front done, took it on a short drive with no bed. Rigged some tail lights so I can drive it for a few days and retorque everything down.

 

Lookin good

 

Thanks its getting there
