I know this would happen but I was wondering what I need to do so I don't rub with a full load in my Jeep?

Sounds like my stock rear bumper is the part hitting the tire...will an aftermarket bumper fix that? Can I cut the corner off for a quick fix?

thanks in advance







I found one problem right here, remember someone telling me I need that cutted off



And here is the bumper pic

 

stubby bumpers and flat fenders is what im going to say without any information

 

thanks, just updated it...pretty much all stock except 4" lift and 37"

I now remember that I need to cut the metal near the front of the rear tires

What else do i need to do now?

 

........... wherever it rubs

 

Find a large rock or a safe place to flex out your suspension one tire at a time. Have someone spotting you while flexing and just make a list of everywhere that the tire rubs.

 

First off, that is a real nice looking Jeep!
Trim pinch seam in the rear (the so called metal near the front)
Trim rock rails in the rear (take about 3 inches off)
Remove that fake plastic thingy that bolts onto the bottom of your front bumper
Add steering stops if your tires rub at full turn
If your tires hit your fenders and you dont like it (or they hit them in a way that they could get damaged) then you need to get longer bumpstops

Thats it

 

1. Cutting off the pinch seam tomorrow.

2. what part is the rock rail?

3. Would i need a bumpstop if i am getting a studdy aftermarket front bumper?

I'm try to find somewhere to flex tomorrow too

thanks

 

You dont have a rock rail so never mind! They are the rock guards that go along the side of your jeep.

Whether or not you need bumpstops would be up to you. If your tires stuff in a bit too close for your comfort at full flex you may want longer bumpstops thats all.... I dont think your bumpers have much to do with bumpstops, but maybe some....

 

I agree with this....

 

One last thing I have heard that cutting the pinch seam could cause leaks in the tub??? About half the people on here pound it in (bend it over). I did that with mine. If you cut yours you can fill it with JB weld, ive heard of people doing that.
