Q 1:
My front fenders have some rot in the bottoms. How do I address this rot? I cant find anyone that reproduces the big fenders. Are there salvage parts available? Who do you recommend? Will the 1/2 ton repair panels fit the big fenders?
Q 2:
What is the easist most cost effective but safe way to lower the front? I think I know how to lower the back (lowering blocks) I dont really want to derate the truck by installing a 1 ton front axle. But id like to drop the truck about 6". Does anyone produce a 4" drop axle for a 2.5 ton? Or drop springs?
Q 3:
Are the 1 ton front fenders interchangable with a 2.5 ton? Ive thought about swapping my fenders with a 1 ton so I can narrow the front. This will be incase I do have to swap to a 1 ton front axle. Im not crazy of the extra wide front fender look.
Thanks again....
