35"'s hitting on 75 Series

Post by Drift Technician »

Got my new Micky T MTz's in 35/12.5/15 yesterday but for some reason they are hitting on the spring on full lock. Body is 2" lifted, 4" springs and 2" shackle.

Mates 75 which is identical is running Dick Cepeks in same size with no issues on a 15 x 8 rim.

Mine are def 15 x 8 -22 according to place of purchase, anyone have any ideas why they are hitting?
If its not upside down and on fire, I'm not trying hard enough.......

Adjust your steering stops! They are on the ends of the diff and contact lugs on the swivel housings

Put the front axle up on axle stands! turn it from lock to lock and adjust the steering stops accordingly. So your rubber isnt hitting the springs!

Figured out the steering stops, prolly should of looked before commenting lol.

Is there any reason they are done on axle stands and not with the wheels on?

A lot quicker and easier to check both sides

you got to leave the wheels on to do it! but on axle stands becuase it is easier to go to both sides and the front wheels should be in the air making it easier to turn the wheel going from lock to lock!
