Default Need to trim sliders w/35's?
OK, so I've got the OME lift and 35's on but this seems too close for comfort.
About a thumb away from the factory Rubicon "sliders":::



I'm still waiting for the track bars so it hasn't moved from the garage yet, so not sure if it'll rub.

I found this thread about trimming this for 37's

Anyone else have suggestions before I hack off an inch or 2...and reinstall the plasic plug?

your jeep will not flex in that direction. i've seen many jeeps at full flex and not rub on the rockrail ,me included.

Like already mentioned above. It doesn't flex towards the rail.
You won't hit the rails. At least mine never have.

Thanks guys.
Liike I said, Its still "in the shop" so have yet to flex..even a curb.
I figured that the axle will move back upon compression, just figured while I was waiting on UPS with my trackbars
