Nicks '97 Chevy RCSB

So I'm having issues with the rear end bouncing around. I put new belltech shocks, shock extenders and c-notch. I confirmed they are correct for a 4/8 drop. I thought maybe the shocks were over extended but I measured the length of the shock from eyelet to eyelet and got 16" on driver side and 19" on passenger. The max length is around 21". Kristina Ash said there should me a max of 1/2" difference. Could the shock extenders be over correcting the shock angle ? Any input would be awesome.

Here's pics for reference.

That's weird. I'd try mounting the passenger side without the extender and see how it looks/rides. I know all trucks sit different and usually the drivers side is a little lower due to the gas tank.

Figured out the issue. The rear differential was hitting a bar going across the bed and my exhaust was getting smashed between the axle and bed so cut a notch in the bar and got rid of the exhaust. Rides 1000x better.

Anyway nothing new, just ordered new mirrors so I'm waiting to get those painted along with door and tail gate handles.

Need ideas on what to do with rear bumper. I Plan on keeping the chrome front so trying to tie everything together.

1) all red with black plastic

Yeah I agree. Going get a new one without the impact strips.


Thanks!

Well one thing led to another and I ended up tearing apart the entire interior for paint and to install dynamat and speakers.

Also having door handles, tailgate handle and sport mirrors getting painted.

Looks good man, I'd like to sound deaden mine this year or next. I also had to cut out that bed brace and cut the exhaust but it still rode like hell.

Once I cut out the bed brace it rode 1000x better. Doesn't ride like a caddy but can't complain.

Yeah. That's what I'm going with.
