Default Tires rubbing on upper front spring bucket

Has anyone noticed there tires rubbing on the lip of the upper spring bucket in the front? Problem happens when stuffed and turned all the way. What have you done to remedy the problem? Wheels are AEV pintler beadlocks (4.7 offset) w 37 BFG KM2's. Teraflex 4".

your wheels have too much back spacing. you'll need to install a set of wheel spacers to reduce the amount of back spacing you have.

Default Nobody has problems?

This setup is perfect other than this small problem area. Nobody flexes enough to make contact in this area....or are you guys just not noticing it?
