arches & 35's fitted without lift with pics

<< < (2/6) > >>

finally got the front ones on :dance:
the passenger side went on great and i am very happy with the way it sits but then i moved on the the drivers side at this point i pulled the arch out of the box to find it was miss shaped :(
but i fitted it anyway as i dont have the time to send it back for a replacment it dont look to bad but never the less i didnt pay £195 for a twisted bit of plastic and to top it off i am two screws and caps short!

at this point they were on and i was fairly happy as i wanted to get home so i jump in to move the truck out the workshop reversed up turned the wheel quarter of a turn and realised the side steps were in the way :oops:
two bolts came undone five snaped off which was fine but then it had to happen the one bolt that wants to hold on for dear life but nothing the grinder couldnt sort out but why is it theres always one :-.

mobi was there a bit of inner arch visible on yours like in the third pic above and how much lift do you have and have you had any other issues i havent come across yet just so i can be prepared if there is?

gaurdian your were right im happy with the look and even more happy that people at work think it looks good :D

Guardian.:
did they at work like me spraying the grass everywere  :lol:
get the pics on with the front mate, and dont spoil a good job, you paid good money ask them to send you a replacement, they were new, so have it right.
discos just look the danglies with them arches and 35's, make me keep looking at them in the autotrader again.

i didnt take a side on pic but you can just see the the arch bulges up towards the swayline on the top left which makes it sit away from the body in places and on the under side of the arch it bulges down towards the tyre by over half inch in places but you can only see it if your eye level with the wheel

as for spraying grass the bloke i work with drove his lorry in the same spot but all the diff lock in the world wouldnt get him out so it was a thack it with the digger bucket job :lol:
