Thank you for getting back to me mine rubs so bad when the passenger side flexes up it hits bad. Idk what could be causing the issue. I'm pretty lost at this point.

What bumpstops are you running? I have the WFO’s on mine. Maybe you need larger ones?

I just added longer ones. I made my own mounts like wfo s. Tim never ran bumps on his. I just check the whole thread again, He mentioned on his thread he can go full bump to frame rails without any contact of the drag link. I find that hard to believe since the vent tube will hit the motor mount before the driver side would hit the frame rail. Anyways I bumped lower and its fine now. Also I'm running wfo shock towers. I'm thinking these sit taller.
Jack can you take a measurement from the frame to the coilovet mount bolt. Just a rough measurement for me to compare if you don't mind?

I just so happen to read back through Tim's build thread a couple of days ago and saw the same thing. Not sure how that was possible either. Anyway, I measured on the back side of the C/O on the driver's side and it shows 17". Hope that helps.

I just wanted to update this to let everyone know. After a lot of deliberation and soul searching; my wife and I decided to sell the truck and camper as a package. It was driven away yesterday.
For everyone that contributed to the thread and to those who followed along; thank you.
As for a plan of what is next, I don’t really have one.

Ten years is a good run with the truck. Though I haven’t commented, I have read this thread thoroughly. One year ago it inspired the purchase, and now build, of a 2013 Sierra 2500 HD. I hope to see another full size GM but sounds like you may have exhausted that route….
All the best!

I was sad to hear this, but congrats on the sale Jack!
Wish I would've known you were thinking of parting with the truck...I would've campaigned for that overhead attic you made and the EMP skid plates!
Can't wait to see what the next project is!

It’s funny you mention the attic. I had removed it and put the back seat in; the new owner asked specifically for the attic and the homemade box we had in lieu of the back seat. So, we had to reinstall the attic and box.
Thank you, we were apprehensive right up until he drove it away and it’s still surreal.
Me too, just don’t know quite what that will be.

I apologize for the loss of the pictures; I cancelled my subscription to Smugmug, so the pictures (links) disappeared with it. If there was anything specifically you were looking for, I still have all of the pictures saved.
Thank you, it really was an incredible build. We still miss it to this day.

I remember when you picked this up. Didn’t know you sold it. What did you end up replacing it with?

I ended up kinda splitting the replacement in two if you will.
First one is a JK that I built to do both camping and a little rock crawling.
Second one is a 2003 Dodge 2500 Cummins, that lived in a garage its whole life and had 21k miles When we picked it up two years ago. Has 48k now after driving around the US this summer (12.5k miles). We added a Northstar Laredo camper and have been enjoying that combo.
