Question

Post by ferog »

Hi all :D ,

Was wondering if someone could help me with a question..
Torsion bars how high should you go with the weight of a bullbar?
I have mine wound up an extra 2.5", ive got 15x7 rims and 30" a/t's but the front tyres rub when turned 3/4 to full lock on small bumps, ive removed the mud flaps & they still rub on the guards, the torsion bars are OE.

Thankyou. :)

Emma.

I didn't think i would have this problem as I am only running 30's on it. I think the bullbar is restricting the tyres as well when on an incline.

Yeah, It pulls the plastic up i keep trying to bolt it in different spots to keep it down, maybe I should cut the plastic up to where it won't rub?
i'll go and see the tyre guys anyway see what happens.
