Rear wheels rubbing looking for ideas to stop this.

Yep,, just another reason why narrow tyres are better

LOL yeh if you dont intend to do much hardcore 4wding...

C'mon,, narrow tyres excell in every terrain except rock.

Let's hook up for a wheel and we'll see what's better,,, don't worry about the dust

x2. yet to see a *huge* benefit in massively wide tyres anywhere. always seems to come down more to the tyre itself and pressures than how stuppidy wide it is.

But fat tyres look tuff,, and that's what matters the most to alot of people

You will have to lower you bump stops a long way to stop rubbing, when I did my 4inch lift I lowered my rear bump stops by 75mm, this did nothing as at full flex the coils bind first and the bump stops is about 1mm from the base plate.
I think you might need 100mm or more to stop tyre rubbing.

Hey there mate,, what brand of coils are you running in the back?

A 4inch lift coil should'nt really be binding 75mm before the stock bumpstop.

The bumostop is gonna compress a good 30mm, so that means a good 100mm+ extension of bumps is needed, that's more than the amount of lift, that ain't right?

Are these some type of flexy coil you're using?

That's an awful lot of compression travel you'd lose just to accomodate the spring,,,, unless you needed that bump extension to accomodate the shock length aswell?

They dobbins 295 pound flexy coils and I had lower the bump stops to stop the longer shocks from bottoming out.

Are coilovers street legal?
