RE: Tip Alignment Help

Before you bend or cut anything, there's a great write-up in Tacobill's "how-to" section on the Stinger installation on tip alignment that applies to ALL installations. It's just TOO simple.

heh, i didn't even think about specifying

- the pass. side is lower than the driver side. they both stick out the same distance, so it's just a height issue. now that i know i can mess with the clamps and the hangers no problem, i don't think it'll be too hard to fix...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Stupid tips took me FOREVER to get to be acceptable. They aren't perfect but I just can't get them any better no matter where I loosen everything. Same thing on a buddie's car.

RE: Tip Alignment Help

i've had the same problem - except it's my drivers side muffler that is haanging down and my pass side is almost rubbing the bumper. i was able to get them pretty straight once - but then driving around for a 1000 miles and it's back to looking like sh*t. I'm going to take mine to a shop and have them straightn' up and then weld everything in place.
