We just got done installing the SuicideDoors.com bront bag brackets on my friends 84 chevy fullsize. It was already lowered using 2 inch spindles and springs. We are using Slam Specialties RE-7 bags. The truck rides on 22" rims with 35 series tires and the rim won't even tuck the bottom of the fender is right at the top of the rim. Any clue as to whjat is wrong. There is no sway bar on here. We are stumped and pissed. Teh crossmember is like 4-5 inches off teh ground. WTF. Any help help is appreciated. Thanks

check shocks and check to see if the bag is bottomed out already and if thats the case cut your bag cups down.

It does look like the bag is bottomed out. Maybe we'll cut about 1.5 or 2 inches out cause that bitch is way tooooooo high.

By now im sure u already removed ur inner fenders. If not, do that. And if the shocks and bags r bottomed out, then just cut out the bottom cup. The cups suicide gives u r like 3" tall. I cut 2" out of the cups on my '87 and my 22's tuck, even tho it's not yet on the frame. Im also guessin control arms... thats next on my list.

Thanks guys. We should have cut them before we started.It was mentioned but got blown off. Gotta start somewhere i guess. Inner fenders were out as soon as the 22's were put on and the shocks were left off for now. I'll get pics soon. The rear is up next weekend.
