i now also have a GQ SWB with 7" spring lift, and the 33's clear, but are very close, i will need a guard cut to clear my 35's

my 33's rubbed on the inside, but didn't go anywhere near on the guards, and the 35s make it under by about 15mm, still no rubbin on the guard,
that's with MT/R's

2" my 33"s rub bad on the inner rear even with -25mm offset.

note that's 285/75/16 not 33x12.5x15 too so another 1/2" clearance.

Seen what 2" bodylift extra does for clearance - nothing. Only solution is to increase bumpstops.

Hey mud_runner_GQ, it also depends if you have the sway bars in or not. without a rear sway bar I could get my 31's to rub just above the chassis rail with a 3 inch spring lift. Now i've got a 2 inch body lift and run 33's on road and 35's offroad. I also had to cut the back of the front guards because the 35's (claws) rubbed quite badly there. I also have cut 1/4's so no rubbing there. So the only rubbing i get is above the chasssis, and the only way to fix that would be to extend the bumpstops. It also can't be put down to the standard panhard because it happens on both sides.

35s with 2 inch coil lift.......

35s clear ok for stock suspension and will scrub on full travel... but they are only on it while the 33's are in use elsewhere :twisted:

My rig doesnt scrub on 33's at all when flexing but that might have somthing to do with the lack of flex its got with swaybars etc all on ;)

Screwy :D
