So I'm running 37" toyos on a 6" lift and it keeps ripping the rear fenders off when the suspension compresses. It was my understanding that it was safe to run 37's with way less lift. I love the look of the stock fenders and only want to go to flats as a last resort. I'm running 17x8 wheels w a 4" BS. Do I need more bump stop? <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=617274"/>

Are you running stock bump stops or did you add extensions with the lift?

That would bee cool. The more of the turn down part that can stay, the better. Sometimes I like the thin flat cut fender look and sometimes I don't. I'd rather just go the steel flat fender route so they still have some girth to them when looking at them from the side. That would probably also allow me to keep the suspension as is and keep the additional up travel. Or would that be asking too much?

The rig is on a long arm full adjustable Y-arms and they're sitting perfectly centered. Stuffed the wheels before to check for proper slip yoke fitment and at full stuff, as best as I can measure, the fronts are about 1/8" forward if center. Rears are perfectly centered when stuffed and about 3/16" rear of center at ride height. Again, that was measuring as best I could so measurements might be off just a tad.

What they are saying about measuring bump stops is to stuff the rear tire and measure the distance from the bump stop to the contact point on the axle. If your tire makes contact with your fender before the bump stop touches the axle, then you need more bump stop. The bump stop will limit your axle's up travel to prevent the tires from moving up vertically too far and tearing off the fender. I'm not trying to be rude at all, just wanting to make sure we are all on the same page. Sent from my iPhone using JK-Forum |
Oh man, yeah, it only has 2" of bump stop extension right now.

Also, a wheel is not fully stuffed unless the opposite side is fully drooped. And axles have lateral movement as well so take that into consideration when measuring and doing final testing. If you're going to trim I would do that first.
