Default Some Rubbing, Suggestions???
Hi everyone, just had the Treaflex 2.5 BB installed Saturday, have the 35s ProComp Xtreme A/Ts on ProComp Wheels 17×8. One Question, when I turn all the way to the right or left the wheels rub the control arms, any suggestions??? Is a front adjustable track bar the answer???

You need wheels with less backspacing, or use some washers to shim the steering so it won't turn so far.

Yup, 1.5" wheel spacers or new wheels with 4.75" of back spacing or less. 3.75" may be a bit over kill on a JK (factory is 6.25")
