That may be but according to the OK D.O.T., we have the safest roads in the kuntrey.

Did you put the spacer on top of the frame part?

I bet you have the "new" aluminum spacers with the studs in them.

I have recently seen those, no comment.

A photo would be nice. Perhaps the fender has drooped?

Yeah, I'll have to get the pictures out.

As far as I know everything is on correctly and just fine. I am hearing some squeaking but haven't had a chance to investigate. I'll check it out tomorrow and hopefully will have some pics up.

The lip of the body is lying right on top of one of those bolts so it produces this god-awful screech (similar to fingernails on chalkboard) everytime it moves around - which is almost constantly

I solved my problem by sticking a wad of duct tape down there. I'll probably have a more permanent solution when I have time later...

Are you sure you don't have some busted body mounts? Maybe the problem isn't the suspension at all, but the body not sitting properly on the frame.

No, I don't think so... the body was just fine before... only happened after the lift. Actually, after I re-seat the shocks to sit higher (had the OME cup upside down).

I'll have to check that out when I have time/stops raining though...

I had to bang a little in there to gett that top nut off to even get my shocks out, I was using a semi-deep socket.

Why dont you just make some space with a hammer and a peice of 2x4 or something.

It sounds like you bent it from the crowbar something else while you were in there.
