I added 35s yesterday and had 35s on my my prior 2007 JK with 2.5" lift. However, I didnt notice before how close the tires come to metal corner in the rear wheel well. What is everyone doing about this? Just bend it back? It appears it will hit the tire if hitting off-road hard........

BFHed mine.

 

Sawsall, I didn't like the way it looked , made me nevous even though it didn't hit with 35's, it was close.

 

You can use Marine putty from the hardware store to close it off, quick and easy.

 

"As the suspension compresses, the tire/wheel/axle travel at an arc along the axis of the control arms/frame control arm mounting bolt"

- Gotcha makes sense.......Makes me feel a little better

Thx Plan

I still may bend back a little
