I put some 33's on with stock suspension but they barely rub the fenders. Could I add about a inch or so to clear the 33's in front. I need the stock suspension it makes it easier on the wife getting in and out.
 
i have 32's with 1" zero's rates and stock springs and have no issues at all..not even close

i'm pretty sure i could go to 33's with the 1" zero rates and not have clearance problems
 
How wide are the rims, what is the backspacing, and how soft/saggy are the springs?

i have the stock rally wheels (8") backspacing is 3 3/4" or 4"

they are a little softer/saggy than new, but rides just like stock, only 1" higher...much better than the add-a-leaf that i had on it before
 
Stock backspacing on the 15x8 Rally's is 4".

Is it the front that rubs? You could use zero rates to space the axle forward and keep the tires out of the rear of the fenders. That's the common rubbing area.

Yeah the front tires rub the rear of the fenders. I don't do much wheeling so I might have to try those thanks a lot guys.
 
Be aware that you have to shorten each end of the drag link half the length of the move forward.

Say you moved the axle forward an inch, then each end of the drag link would need to have a half inch taken off of it.
 
I have 36's with no lift. Trimmed and rubs like hell. Guess I'm no help.:D
 
Just remember tires will wear down, so depends on how much they rub you might just leave it be.
 
Get a 4" lift and a step stool. Seriously.

Thats the only way my wife can get in the WarWagon, is with a plastic step stool I keep in the truck, from WallyWorld for $5.

If I get the Zero Rates what U Bolts do I need for the added 1"?
 
immm longer ones.... :whistle:


adding zero rates doesnt change the ubolts other than making sure you can add that 1" and have the ubolts still work

Yeah I know I need longer ones, my stock ones will not work just wondering who carry's them thanks?
 
Ive run stock on 35's and they only rubbed when the tire hit the top of my wheel well.

Cut the corners off of the inside of your fender.
