Before you all say "search" I have looked here's example
the question wasn't answered at the bottome

what I would like to know is without doing ruf how can I fix this.
I run 31" mudzillas if I remove shackles I will need a bodylift is this correct?

Sorry if this has been covered but I have searched and everything
leads to ruf which I don't really want to do.

yes you will need a BL or some guard modifying. wat springs do you have in, longer springs will increase (ie fix) your vertical shackle angle.

Reads like you have 2" shackles with stock'ish springs. If so, it's the extra length on the shackle that is causing the problem.

Going back to stock'ish shackles or fitting longer springs will help. 31's will definitely not fit with stock springs, stock shackles and no body lift. Body lift + seam bashing might get you there (depending on the specific tyres, rims and springs you're running) but may still scrub slightly.

Take a photo of front corner of car so we can see how it sits - will be easier to make suggestions then.

Has 2" lifted springs thought I wrote that will take photo of it now

the issue is some leaf manufacturers dont lengthen the leaves when they arc them up for the 2" lift - this means the length shortens and shackle angle decreases.

If you're after just a better shackle angle you can redrill the perches back a bit, but not much.

Stock shackles required.

[worldo]

If I go back to stock I should bl if then?

[zukmeista]

Probably. Might even be cheaper than bumpstop extensions!

[worldo]

Going to body lift and get some standard shackles thanks for the help

a stock zook can fit 31s with only 25mm bump stop extensions and the front diff moved forward 20mm...

do all sierras have bump stops in the front? i dont seem to have any in mine and i got it as some stocker granny car. had like 205lt or some tire size i never heard of and a sway bar still in but seems to have no bump stops

[worldo]

Tyres would scrub wouldn't they 31zook?

Taszook it should have bumpstops.

[taszook]

sorry to hijack but i've always wondered if i had bumpstops missing. this is about where they would be?

[Llewellyn92]

yer man no bump stops there... bad idea

[taszook]

hmm the guards stop the wheels going up to far anyways xD thats what i could never figure out, why would a bog stock, never seen dirt sierra have no bump stops. why is it a bad idea? what damage can i cause?

Its anyone's guess as why the bumps are missing either way you need to get some.


You can damage the shocks, bend shock mounts and uncool shit like that.

yes and no, dumpy hammer will do the trick buddy
it will look like this


these are 31X10.5s, if you dumpy the sill's (i didn't have to, but this prob's had more to do with the lack of sill due to rust) cut off your wing's and your out
