    Ok, How in the HELL.....

    Are some of you running bigger than 245's without pinch weld / rear AC hose mods?

    'Splain yourselves!!!!

    I'm running 265/70 Dura Graps with 1.5" spacers and I'm still rubbing.... which if that's all it's ever going to do I'm fine with but I think there's more issues there so I'm trying to figure them out.

    What lift do you have? 1.5" spacers with stock wheels, right?

    Oh wait.... you said "without"? lol hell no. You have to do the pinch weld mod man!! Anyone who says otherwise doesn't care that their Jeep sounds like its ripping itself apart when turning into parking spots

    Pinch weld mod should be a requirement when a lift is installed!

    Yep, that's EXACTLY what it sounds like.... like the whole linkage is grinding.

    Get out the grinder. It's not hard to do.
