Tire Rub fix options

I will probably have to add a longer steering stop bolt in order to keep the lugs from the swampers catching on the leaf springs. I swear it got worse when I added the 4" hole to hole shackles. I know somebody here mentioned they were using wheel spacers. Does that put any extra strain on the axle and steering parts?

 

what size swampers you running and what wheels?

 

What size Swampers? I am running 34x9.5's and the rubbing F&R is inbearable, as well as the lack of turing radius.

I am going to add rear spacers and put in a D30 front, this will cure all of the rubbing, and give a greater turning radius.

The spidertrax spacers will not add any more strain then having offset wheels, make sure they are properly torqued and locktite them. I ran Spacers on my DD YJ for over 25k miles with NO issues. Never once loosened in the slightest.

FWIW I have YJ shackles, but never drove it with stock ones.

 

Tires are 32x9.5 TSL's on 15x7 w/3.5 bs

I have two Dana 30's laying in the yard. But both would have to be regeared and rebuilt. I really like the 5.38 ratio. I wouldn't want to step down on that at all.

 

either wheel spacers or different wheels with a greater offset

 

Im running 35x12.5 -15 mtrs on wagon wheels from a ford pickup. I think i had to put longer bolts in the limiters but the steering radious really isnt all that bad. I suspect it just takes some getting usto. If i were you id put the longer stops in and try that and if you dont like the radious then try other options
