yeah never thought about that, maybe body lift isnt the way to go then, you're intending on fitting 33's arnt you so you would have the same prob if not worse of the tyre fouling on that part of the body



Yes or 35s but will have yota axles that are slightly wider and i will just crank plasma up until no more rubbing lol

bumpstops are only meant to stop the shocks from bottoming out. correctly set up they don't limit suspension travel or articulation.

Should have room enough for the 31" tyres.



Here is a pic of where it is rubbing, this is basically looking at the back of the front bumper

Hi jimnydms, this is what I had to do to mine with 33inch tyres . Nick

Surely if you modify to a longer
Bump stop it will impinge the articulation to where you have put the bump stop to ? The axle will stop at the bump stop inside the spring and stopping it articulating as much and not compressing the shock as much as well as the spring as that is where the bump stop is located ?
