1. use a hammer to adjust the body seam.
2. adjust steering stops.
3. adjust bumpstop length.
4. get spring perches redrilled 25mm forward
5. body lift.

Extended shackles arent really going to effectively fix the problem, optiosn 4 or 5 are more expensive, but will gain you in other areas to, better wheelbase/allowance for bigger tyres in future by redrilling perches, body lift allows more clearance without drastically raising COG and also moves body further away from nasty rocks....
Cheers,
Dan.

Another 1" of lift will do it.
Does it have a body lift, if not Bung some 1" spacers in.
I found 2" sus and 2" body on a 4runner works well with 33s.
The only scrub is occasionally on the factory front mud flap at full lock.

Cheers Struth.

Yeah hit it with the gympie hammer.
If that doesnt work then get out the grinder and welder.
I have 35s on my IFS lux with no susp lift at all and just a 40mm BL...
...and a smidgen of trimming :)
