How about a list of tech threads related to fenders? TJ Highline Installs

You begged for a flaming by posting "Look at Me" and "Ooh! My Charger!" here in tech. Try that $h!t on pirate and see what you get.

Now, let's just call this a "Fail" accompanied by a lesson learned, shall we.

Have a great turkey day. :2thumbsup:

Do, you have any idea if the shocks are completely compressed before the tire hits the fender? If so you're going to destroy the shocks.

Take a tape measure and see how much exposed shock shaft you have and then measure from the bottom of your spring up to where the bumpstop slides into the metal sleeve. You would want those numbers equal: So, if you have 4 inches of shock shaft exposed and 6 inches from the bottom of the spring to the metal sleeve then you will need two inches of bumpstop. I usually will try to adjust another 0.5inch though so 2.5". If your using hockey pucks they come in 1" increments so you're stuck with what you're using there.

However, if you have an issue with the tires hitting the fenders before the shocks is fully compressed you need to flex it out and measure everything. Again, measuring how much bumpstop you will need to keep the tire from getting into the fenders.

The hockey puck can be slid between the springs and mounted with a strong epoxy.

All the information is in the forum for ya though. A general search will help ya learn a lot.
