No.wheel spacers?
Yes. Lifts don’t help you fit tires. I rubbed with a 4” lift the same amount as I do now with a 2” lift. Where I sit at ride height within that 11” travel shock is the only thing that’s changed.Are you serious?
Did you upgrade the control arms with your 4" lift? If not, you will definitely be rubbing..Yes. Lifts don’t help you fit tires. I rubbed with a 4” lift the same amount as I do now with a 2” lift. Where I sit at ride height within that 11” travel shock is the only thing that’s changed.
Im running the eimkieth radius arm bracket which moves the axle forward. It was also at the top of the fender, not near the firewall… and with 35s. So idk how people fit 37s without trimming or extended bump stops.Did you upgrade the control arms with your 4" lift? If not, you will definitely be rubbing..
Your wheel specs must suck or something. Especially if 35s rubbed.Im running the eimkieth radius arm bracket which moves the axle forward. It was also at the top of the fender, not near the firewall… and with 35s. So idk how people fit 37s without trimming or extended bump stops.
People on MUD fits 37s on a 2.5" lift and it wont rub if you drive on mall parking lot...just saying.Im running the eimkieth radius arm bracket which moves the axle forward.

I never had any complaints with stock wheels, 315s, and no bumpstops. What are you and Mr Fujiwara looking at under there?
Do you mean to tell me that I and millions of others have been misled and totally confused? Longer shocks and multi springs will effectively increase wheel travel while also moving that travel zone further from the wheel well. I’m in that club and spent many hours cycling my shocks with no springs installed taking measurements for precise bump stop length.Yes. Lifts don’t help you fit tires.

we’re looking at the bump stopI never had any complaints with stock wheels, 315s, and no bumpstops. What are you and Mr Fujiwara looking at under there?
I’m staying that if you were running the same 4” dobinsons shocks that I was. You had 3” of down travel and 7” of up travel until you touch the factory bump stops. I found that if the 80 is flexed all the way out, the radius arm hits both sides of the axle side bracket. Those are 11” travel shocks, if you add over an inch of bump stops to fit 37s without rubbing, you have now less travel than a stock 80.Do you mean to tell me that I and millions of others have been misled and totally confused?

I don't think a stock 80 had 11' travel shocks. In stock form a 80 has about 2" of up travel add a 4" lift you should have about 6" of up travel if your tires are not hitting. on top of that most spring are to stiff to allow full up travel.I’m staying that if you were running the same 4” dobinsons shocks that I was.

Those are 11” travel shocks, if you add over an inch of bump stops to fit 37s without rubbing, you have now less travel than a stock 80.
And you can have shocks and springs that move the travel zone away from the fenders. But you are still bound within two hard constraints, the factory bump stop and where the suspension binds. Adding a lift just moves the ride height away from the one constraint and closer to another.
If I’m remembering right they have 10” of travel stock. I might have misspoken, thanks for the correction. And I rubbed with the 2.5” vts that gave me 4” of lift. I rub more often now with the tapered tour flex springsI don't think a stock 80 had 11' travel shocks.

Longer shocks, multi rate springs and narrower Delta arms. With 4.5” - 5” of front lift running dobinson 3.5” tapered springs Plus a 1” spacer and 12” shocks for a six inch lift I enjoy a full 10” of travel evenly spit up and down with a 37” tire. “I like it”.I’m staying that if you were running the same 4” dobinsons shocks that I was.

that was on the Rubicon and a tree was involved - lolSays the dude missing fender flares
