I would be pissed too but all you can really do is chalk this up to a lesson learned. Most people today are dopes and unless you spoon feed them step by step what you want done to your vehicle (and say it multiple times) they will mess it up. Sorry about the bad experience. :sorry:

its not drivable lower like that in the rear. i cracked the bottom of one of the flares on the 1.5 mile ride home. i would need to add a c-notch and find some rims that would tuck. the rims i hav now are 9" wide and stick out even with the edge of the flares

If you're not specific, no one else is to blame except you. :huh:


Sounds like they did their job, the way they normally would.


I do my own work, however, if I NEED to have anything done.. I am VERY specific and REPEAT it at least 4 times and have them write it down to make SURE it is correct.



... but that's me.



I learned my mistake, I wasn't specific once. I had dented my tailgate, told the body shop to FIX IT. I ASSUMED that meant bondo the dent and repaint. They repainted over the massive dent.


People are idiots anymore, make sure you speak to them like babies till they understand.

im thinkin some bigger tires in front might help to eliminate some of the gap right now its 255/35/20 in front and 275/35/20 in back. i think im gonna switch the 275/35 to the front and get some 275/40 for the rear

Taller tires yes, wider tires no. I know you probably want to use some of what you have, but consider 255/40 for the front and a 275/40 for the rear. 28" front and 28.6" rear would look really serious and work well if you want to go lower up front by kepping the tires out of the fender lips and flares. 275's up front mean lots of rubbing under compression.

Your truck is going to be so killer whan you are done!! I love that color!
