Lol Yup, it is. Shop tried everything they could to get them straight but thats the best they could do. Bought it used with a cold air intake for a killer price, so I’m starting to think that played into the seller’s price.

Not the end of the world. Sounds great and doesn’t look as bad in person, if that makes any sense.

Common with Borla. Take a crowbar and you can bend it straight so they match

Damn that looks good. How do they fit? What, if anything, did you need to trim?

Need to trim, but haven't yet. Doesn't rub at full lock backing out on my driveway, where there is a dip where the curb meets the road. My other truck, an '05 Silvy w/ 6.5" lift and 35s, rubbed there all the time. Surprised how close the upper ball joint is. As you can also see, shocks are at mid perch.

Nevertheless, these 37s are a TIGHT fit! But the truck still has a lot of low end grunt. Was worried the 37s & 4.11 gear combo would be too tall. Was thinking 4.56s would have to soon follow, but I feel no noticable dip in power and acceleration. Granted, it also helps that I did a tune at the same time...and that was NOT by accident. I was hoping what ever bump in power and seat-of-the-pants drivability boost I got would mask the heavier, taller tire... and it seems I got my wish.

Just dropped off the truck for an early morning appoint to install the rebuilt shocks with flutter stack and Geiser springs. Ride height on both front fenders was 39 13/16” when I dropped it off. I’ll update tomorrow the after.

Got my truck to the dealer for the trans recall, replaced the Molded Lead Frame, and they installed my B&M Trans pan for me, Just have to install the PA dipstick when weather breaks.

These came off the truck today and rebuilt shocks with viton seals, flutter stack,and Schroeder valves went on. Stock coils came off and Geisers went on. Toe was corrected after the change.

Went from 39 13/16” to 41” on the front fender height.

Picks of the old shocks tonight. Pics of the new stance tomorrow. Might be time to start researching what needs to be done to fit 37s just in case I decide to go that route with the next set of tires.

You can see pics of my 37s a few posts up. If you are doing any serious offering, you'll need fenders, no doubt.
