Help with frankenlift
Hi All,
I put on a set of 33x12.50x15 KM2s on my 4-dr rubi and decided I wanted to go with the absolute minimum lift to clear them, so I put on a Daystar 1 3/4" kit. I love the new size (I think this is how they should come from the factory) but was surprised to find my axels off-center by more than 1/2". So I'm going to put some adjustable track bars on there.
However, last weekend, I took it up to the trails, and I found that when I got to EXTREME flex, I was still rubbing a little in the front. The back seems to be fine. Also, I still have a little forward rake. So, I guess my questions are:
- Should I just add another 3/4" spacer up front? Or go with a 2.5" spacer instead?
- Or is extending the bumpstops what I really need to do?
- I also want to put on a bumper and winch before summer, so it seems like that might make things worse. In that case, do I need a 2.5" spacer and bumpstop extensions also?
- If I go to a 2.5" spacer, do I need to extend or switch out my shocks?
Thanks!
PS - I really want to keep the lift as minimum as possible. Not to save money. Mostly because it just barely fits in my garage right now.
