Suspension lift & wheel spacers problem was created by little monster
Hi Guys not posted for a while been busy tarting up the jimmy, ok here goes have put 2`` lift on the truck with all new poly bushes on the front axle including castor correction, have fitted 215/75/15 fedima extreme tyres, also adjustable pan hard rods fitted, this is all good by itself, but when i put my 32mm wheel spacers on the front the tyres rub on the rear of the front wings(bottom corners) when turning the steering so i need a solution, i do not want to lift it any higher as it is only used for green laning, it does lean over ever so slightly to the left due to the drivers side spring being longer, don`t want to buy new grp wings either......thanks in advance for your solutions

hi mate
when i bought mines it had 15" 8spokes with 32mm spacers on and diamond backs and a 3" body lift
the only part of the truck which had been modded was the leading edge of the arch trim ,
so im guessing its common and required when changing the offset of the wheels from standard
only my opinion

The best solution for you would be to trim the arches (I think a lot of people have to do this).
If you didn't want to do that you could not bother with the spacers or lift the car higher.

Looks like trimming is the best option as i don`t want to raise it any higher....Cheers
