What $1,000 of suspension work looks like to still rub

[Doubeleive]

with the norcal mod they just use a grinder and pretty much do one of these

ya those clips can be a real pita, license plate mounts can be replaced pretty easy they sell new ones at almost any auto parts store

I’m gonna try a hillbilly trick that outlived my dad’s suburban

That is exactly what I think I’m gonna do it just pains me to chop a OEM part that’s flawless im gonna check the junkyard there’s a freshly smashed tahoe also a 2001 semi parking lot hit and run rear quarter panel front bumper is fine but not flawless

Jounce bumper missing.

Expect it to be a bit squirrely over bumps and uneven road pavement.

Oh they’ve been like that since I got it I planned to replace them around mid February but $1,055.50 tapped me out on truck spending for a while

You best believe

I think that’s good enough to not be considered liscense plate obstruction until I get a new one

I’m more suprised they didn’t say anything especially about the lug they snapped clean off with a impact btw this is the 5th lug nut from cars I’ve owned that that shop has snapped off

2 zip ties is all it took to not destroy my wiring but they couldn’t even do that

 

[LordWayback]

Honestly I want a body lift then to just fix the absolute heck out of everything

Do the tires clear everything without the 2" wheel spacer?

 

[91RS]

2” wheel spacers + new torsion keys within z spec no idea how cranked they are however it looks nice besides needing the rear coil spacers

Lol. Wow. Can’t figure out why it rubs. *eye roll*

Hope you're having that shop replace all your wheel spacers. If they broke off one, they probably overtorqued all of them. Wheel spacers are one of those things you really have to be careful with. If you get good quality ones, and you install them right and torque your wheels right every time you'll probably be all right. Otherwise you risk a spacer coming apart. Tons of pictures on the internet. I wouldn't trust any of those spacers after they touched them.

Would recommend black zip ties over white in the future. The black are UV resistant and last better outside. The white and other colors tend to dry rot and fall apart.

Those bumper clips have a center to them. You can press or pull the center out then the clip will pull out easily, and can be reused later.

If I'm being completely honest, I would be removing those wheel spacers even if the shop hadn't damaged them. The ONLY wheel spacers I will use are the hub centric style, and even those I am very picky about the ones I will use. Those cheapies like you have installed are killers. Lots of those have come apart and a wheel comes off your truck at speed, sending you into oncoming traffic or causing a rollover.

Mine are not hubcentric

 

[Alex_M]

Strongly recommend removing them then.
