mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
do we ;) think i prefer the tubelar one instead. think it gonna need a phat rear bumper with 38s and 15 inch wide. on the ass_end
maybe
something similar to 90 comp front winch bumper from golddigger 4x4
boss:
like the shunt nose the 38s wont be happening!....yet! got to keep it as low down as possible because of the new house.....i think its going to be a bit of a squeeze getting it in and out so i will probably have to rig up a ray mears tent and work outside:( my co-driver to be wants to enter an event in November and theres alot to do between now and then (plus i have another little idea what I'm not mentioning at the moment to finish)
to make something like the golddigga bumper that would provide enough clearance would require me to move the tray upwards....i think if i did that i wouldn't have enough weld contact on the winch tray, hence the reason for angling the "bumper to be". it also protects the tyres from the sharp arches, found a gouge in my tyre yesterday that i can only put down to the arches!

Just in case you don't have enough on your hands then what your truck need is hydraulic (or air :-#) suspension so it can be lowered when needed.

what's wrong with the simple solution Boss?? either have a set of old rims with old 205 x 50 x 16 tyres on (24" rolling dimeter) for moving it in and out of garage to work on, it will look bliddy ridiculous but it will also drop your roofline by 4.5 or 5.5 inches assuming you've got 33's or 35's at the minute, or even cheaper just drop the pressures right down to get it in or out, you can always put them up again once it's through the door so they don't sit flat.
