Yes, in order to have your suspension travel you have to widen your frame where the upper shock mounts are. I widened mine by about 3 inches to fit my custom fender in between the frame and I have full suspension travel. What's even better is that I can dump my air shocks and drop my fender within a 1/4 inch from my tire as seen in my gallery. Look at how far the D&D exhaust is from the rear axle where it would normally ride with the suspension up to stock height. You cannot just throw a 280 or larger on and expect it to ride like stock without modifying the frame, but it is WELL WORTH IT!!! I have a 300 and would never consider ever going back to anything smaller!!!
