Wheel BS question

Sachse XJ · Jan 20, 2005

I just bought an 89 XJ
It has a 3" lift and factory wheels with 31X10.50 tires
Needless to say, when I turn close to full lock, the tires rub
My question is this, what BS would I need to get rid of the rubbing?
It is driving me nuts!!!

Thanks in advance
Bruce

If it bothers you that much, stop turning to full lock or........
put twenty cents worth of washers behind the steering stops and make it
go away.

I have 3.5 lift. had 31's. went 3.75BS, it worked great. I have since went to 32x11.5 and still no LCA rubbing. You may have to do some minor fender trimming.

I think 4.0 is ideal, but hard to find. 3.25 is VERY common. I thought the 3.75 gave a nice wide stance, but still kept in enough mine are AR Baja's 15x8 with 3.75BS. Here are some pics

Not to hijack, but how does that 3.5" lift with 32s work? How does it flex? Pics?

RE3.5 Super flex. don't really have alot of great flexin pics, but if flexes FANTASTIC. I love it. Would do again if started over. DOES rub a little if disco'd, won't rub if connected. I did move the front flares up. I need to remove a little metal from rear, but not much, just barely rubs. I think I will just trim a little and run some small bump stops.
call up Dirk at DPG.com. He is the RE XJ man. I went with OME shocks, very nice, but $. Here are a few pics at Badlands.

Ok thanks. I was considering the 4.5" kit for 32s but I think i am gonna go witht e superflex 3.5". A buddy of mine has it with 31s and it flexs awsome. Thanks again.

i'd go 3.5-3.75, that should tuck them in well when flexed out
