Hey all,
hope everyone had a good New Year. I have a question that has been bugging me for awhile. I have a decent amount of bumper clearance when normally driving my XJ. However, whenever I make sharp turns (or sometimes any turns!) my front tires will bang and scrape up against the lower lip of my front end caps. It's not a huge deal, but it makes a terrible noise and I don't really know what to do about it other than trim them or replace them.
And while I'd like to avoid doing either, is there any solution other than maybe get coil spacers for the front to just give it enough clearance that it doesn't scrape when I back out (or into) my driveway? Again, it's just very annoying and I would trim them or replace them with the pre-97 end caps but my stock engine shield thing is intact and I don't want to cut into that (stupid, I know)...
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys! And if anyone wants some free beer and pizza, I'm off for spring break next week and I'd love to finally get those damn hella's hooked up and maybe even my grille/brush guard installed!
