Just installed a set of the Sullybuilt brackets with the recommended Firestone bags. Good sturdy set-up and easy install.

Problem I'm having is there is no clearance on the inside of the bags to the wheelwells as these airsprings are of a much larger diameter than stock. One is a little tighter than the other, but both are rubbing.

My rear wheels are straight, my bogies are tight, I drove up and down the driveway, about 300 ft after putting wheels back on, and still no clearance.

Could "middle age spread" be the issue? http://gmcmotorhome.info/spread.html

The only solution I see is to modify the wheelwells to fit the airspring. Manufacturing a fiberglass inset and take advantage of the 1-2 inches behind the wells.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks, RD 77 Palm Beach 403
