Kevinapex Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I just put on some 3" lowering blocks, like the look but, with any load in bed I get tire rub at the top of the fender arch. So what can t do, can I do some type of air bags or air shock that I can deflate with no load in bed, and add air when there is a load? Thank for the insight. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Its all about offset and tire size, and maybe air bags too... Can you post some pics of your rear tires, diff angles so we can all see what you got going on? Quote Link to comment

Kevinapex Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Rear 275/35/18 all around. I know I know I've heard it all... Wagon wheels, looks like a stage coach It's what were on it, really don't mind them Quote Link to comment
Kevinapex Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 http://www.flickr.com/photos/97057225@N06/8964083195/ Bump stop with static bed, no load. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I dislike flicker, it won't let me copy your photo. :( I can hardly believe how much room you have with 3 inch blocks, my axle is 2 inches from the frame without bump stops, you on the other hand have lots of room with bump stops. I will admit I am a little lower than you are though. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 You need airshocks. Only about $66-70 @ AZ with a lifetime warranty. Quote Link to comment
Kevinapex Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 A buddy and I took our bikes from evergreen Colorado to Albuquerque to pick up this 620. Biked 450 miles, paid the seller, put our bikes in the bed, gsxr 1000 and a ktm 950 around 1000 lbs. of bikes. Left straight away from Albuquerque, drove all night back to Co. This was before the 3" lowering blocks were set in the back, with 1000+ lbs. there was still 2" between the bump stop and the axial tube! Now that I've done the blocks, I put 400 lbs. in the back sombitch drags wheel well ! Quote Link to comment

Kevinapex Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 The offset of the Titan wheels are killing me. They stick out right under fender. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 get some airshocks... they just bolt in like a stock shock. air up when youre loaded, and air out when youre not Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 The best way IMO to address your issue.... http://www.hellwigproducts.com/products/load-control/medium-duty-helper-springs/ and roll the inner fender lip on all four corners. Quote Link to comment
PDX Matt Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So a question about blocks. I installed some 3" blocks today and I was wondering if they settle at all? Or need time to get to their final height? Quote Link to comment

Justin Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 You could just flare your rear fenders a little bit ala "baseball bat" mode also....?? (I'll look for the link) But yeah, adjustable air-shocks would be easier/cheaper than bags though Quote Link to comment
