I need some frame measuerments.... please?
I need some frame measurements. One (or both) of my front frame horns are slightly bent (vertiacally). Either one is bent up, one is bent down, or a combination of the two. They were both bent to the passenger side slightly, but I go them sqaured back up (horizontally). Do any of the shop manuals how dimensions of the frame? If so, could somebody give me the dimensions??
If not, I'm not sure the best way to get a measurement off another truck. It'd have to be off a truck that is lowered (4"x6" drop would be good), hasn't been wrecked, SHORT BED, and had equal tire pressures. With the truck on level ground, maybe take a measurement from the bottom of the very back of the frame to the ground, then a measurement from the bottom of the frame right below the front cab support bracket to the ground, then one from the top of the core support bracket to the ground. I then could adjust my air bags to match the rear two dimension and then verify the front dimension. This probably wouldn't be very exact, but might get me in the ball park. Or, what is the correct dimension between the bottom of the core support and the core support frame bracket?? If I knew that I could set it at that height and then would be able to tell what the problem was based on the fender to door gap. Right now I have the passenger side of the core support shimmed up, but I think the drivers side isn't high enough. Any other suggestions??? If I have "X" and "Y", I can find "Z" ![]()
