Here's with 315/70-17D Coopers:



Slight rubbing on the front traction bars (is that the right part name?) when turning close to full lock either way. Easy to avoid except when making U-Turns...

Otherwise, no problems. Mounted on the stock rims too.... 20k miles and still 3/4 tread left and wearing perfectly. 50 lbs in the front and 35 in the rear -- except when towing. REALLY softened up the ride.

This is mine after I removed the lift and lowered the rear. Went from 2" leveled and 315s to stock level front and lowered rear and Power Wagon wheels and 285s.

PatriotBlu,

You're refering to the upper control arms.

Thanks Pauly!!!

So that's the bar that the rear of the tire hits when turned in that side's direction? For instance, when turning right, the inside rear of the right tire hits that bar on my 4x4. It's a soft rub and I've only done it a few times.

Problem comes in when a valet or a porter at the dealer wants to drive...

What's the best fix -- a lift? Spacer? Smaller tires

Jay, if you put in a 2 " leveling kit it will fix it right up,, no problems,, just have to get a wheel alignment when done, and have the tech advance the castor to max
