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

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.

The mallet is the way to go, i have a 96 solid with 50mm body lift with 33"s and they always hit sooooo just give it a bash.
