Front Wheels scrubs on Guard

Post by HI-LUXury »

I have a 93 model Dual cab hilux and I have 33 inch tyres on it, when going through a rut the front tyres hit on the bottom of the guard at the back of the wheel arch. How do I fix this problem? Cheers

Cutting the guards? What the :roll:
I was thinking of maybe a bodylift or something, and If I needed a bodylift what things do I have to buy?

If it's hitting the rear edge of the front guard you could try moving your axel forward. Bit of a PITA with the torque rod and J-arm steering on a hilux though.
33's should go alright with a 30-50mm bodylift and maybe some hammer-time.

sledge hammer woked for me, bit of massaging the inner guards and 1"-2" body lift you'll be sweet.
