BobtailBogey Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have just sunk my fuel tank in my bobtail down into the chassis. but just wondering how much travel does the 'A' frame do? i have a 2.5" sus lift and 2" body lift. so im hoping that it clears thebottom of the tank. if not suppose extended bump stops might help?

bishbosh Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I suggest you take the springs out and jack the axle up to the bumpstops. I would want at least an inch beyond that position. In fact, I would take the bump stops off, and jack the axle up to the chassis rails then make sure I had clearance in case you loose a bumpstop. Rather than extending the bumpstops I would weld a bit of box the axle - that can't come off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
