Re: Re: ATTN: JY& Chris:Was: Pics of 33's on a Dak NOW: Rubbing

With my two inch body lift and lack of all that plastic up front
w/my bumper, I get no rubbing on the fenderwell. The only
rubbing I get is on the frame in front of each wheel, and that
only at full lock. The tires show no adverse affects after 8000
miles (one rotation so far), but the paint is rubbed clean on
that spot of the frame on both sides. I've pretty much gotten
in the habit now of simply not turning the wheel to full lock
and I no longer notice rubbing unless I'm trying to get in or
out of a tight parking spot. You shouldn't have too much
trouble, even without a body lift, but 33x12.5's might be a bit
big.

Later,
JY
