Rear Tire Clearance Question (1 Viewer)

[Green Bean]

Recently had the rear fenders patched using the panels made by Real Steel. We are running a 2-1/2" OME lift; 16" wheels and Yokohama Geolandar M/T (LT255/85R16). The clearance at the leading edge of the rear fenders looks close. What does the brain trust think?
Thanks.

When the rear tire runs over anything or is in compression it will move rearward providing more clearance.

Common issue with the OME springs. I got some spring pin plates and moved my axle backwards about 1.5", worked great. Also, as the springs settle, you'll eventually get better shackle angle too.

Here's mine with 255/85r16's and OME lift after moving axle back.

Thanks. @MDH33 Where did you get your replacement spring pin plates?

I can't recall where I got the spring pin relocation plates. They are generic, probably 4 Wheel Parts or Amazon. I just used my spring width and pin diameter to reference size. You'll need ubolt plates too. I got those from ruffstuff
