Rubbing exhaust

[BamaPaul]

I put the 37's on today and I am rubbing my exhaust (I trimmed and finessed a couple of spots to not rub anywhere else up front). Need ideas on what to do, currently I have OME 851/860's, 30 mm spacers up front and a 1" BL that should be ~ 3.5-4" overall. I am thinking of building some 2" metal tech style spacers to replace the 30 mm ones until I can find some 850J's front and 863J's for the rear.

pics?

time for headers?

Remember, a body lift isn't going to have any impact on tire distance to frame mounted components.

I just found out of that it just hit the exhaust. Mine seems to stick out a lot right there.

You can see I have plenty of room on the passengers side and then none at the exhaust on the drivers side

 

[BamaPaul]

It's limiting movement of the wheel on the drivers side by about 1 full rotation of the steering wheel

surely Lorena hit her exhaust with next to no lift and 4d's

Lorena had a ”custom” exhaust. Are you running plates for cc? You could slot the frame side control arm brackets to move the axle back to stock position at ride height

 

[BamaPaul]

I am running bushings

Lorena had this piece pipe:








It fit very well. Never even plumbed the O2 sensors because just plugging them up and zip tieing them out of the way eliminated the CEL...


What is your lift? smaller than minesez? What exactly is minesez? I wanna go lower. Even with 37's eventually. Maybe trade? But we'd hafta trade control arms too... a pretty fun Saturday!

 

[BamaPaul]

Oh wow Lorena had that exhaust tucked tight inside the frame rail. I went and bought some 1.75" pipe to move the exhaust back some I think I can gain another 2-3" by cutting and moving it back.

Currently I have OME 851/860's, 30 mm spacers, that's the 2" light loads. If I remember correctly Matt put the J's up front and the Heavy's in the rear on Gold fanger. Ill be happy to swap with you for a bit (or longer) at some point.

Nope. Ome comp 3” rear 4” front. 419/421 iirc

 

[BamaPaul]

This is what I am thinking about for the time being, it should move it 2ish" back and get it out of the way of the tire.

I also got a big portion of the wobble out of the tires by balancing one of them and swapping one of the tires so that it was going in the correct direction. I am going to pull the others apart as soon as I can and ensure they are still balanced as well as possible.

 

[Land Speeder]

One was mounted in the wrong direction? I suppose it was prolly originally on the other side. Let's hope anyway!
I saw a pic with bookoo BB's, was it on FB?

 

[BamaPaul]

Yeah it was on fb with the entire box of bb's. 3 of the 4 were mounted right so it was probably a spare that was backwards since Shoupe busted one at Stoney.

 

[Land Speeder]

No, Rogers did. Dang this thing has had some owners this year!

I probably put it on backards... I was a few beers deep by the time we finally got the rim apart and insert out.
