Just take a ball-peen hammer and dent it in a bit, or better yet, get someone to make you a custom pipe that works better. Those charge pipes are universal for our trucks regardless of what we've done with them so just pay a guy $40 to make one to fit. It's cheaper than changing your suspension that's for sure!

I agree, hammer time. Wheel spacers will increase the scrub radius which can make the tires rub in new spots.

That was it. I got some 20mm ones but there a little long. Gonna have to try some 15mm ones. Or use a lot of washers lol.

And I don't want to beat on the pipe. especially since you can see it through the wheel well. The fmic will be going in soon and I'll make it fit better then.

painted the fuel rails. I think it will go with the "theme" of the truck a little better.

The spring inside the belt tensioner snapped and threw the belt. Lost power brakes and steering. The coolant shot up to 240 by the time I was able to get it into a parking lot and turned off.
