normal shocks will not raise or lower your truck/car. They are used to help stop rebound and increase drive ability, as said air bags coilovers and air shocks are totally different things.


Thank you Paul !! I`m glad someone else knew what i was trying to get across..

Original poster, good luck with whichever way ya go about fixin the problem.. I`ll go back to my corner now..lol

Alright, well I guess I'll go the cheaper route first and roll the lip and buy some replacement bump stops from rock auto and see what happens. Thanks for all the help guys!

I rolled mine and now i have no problems, It doesent chew up the tires at all anymore heaven forbid i do hit it. This is a pic from the S10 Forum from a guy Blazinator and he rolled his also and has no problems.
Edit: I did mine with holding something on the outside of the fender so it dident pop out and took a rubber mallot and hit the fender straight up and then hit it towards my the outer part of the fender so it rounded it perfectly

Did you cut any relief cuts in the lip when you did it? Or did it roll just fine the way it was?
