I installed my lift with two additional rear isolators on each side and the extended polyurethane bumpstop and I followed everything and all the advice I was given and still rubbing, what gives? |

The bumpstops are the equivalent of two hockey pucks, its rubbing on the fenderwell, I have Rubicon wheels with 245/75R16 tires and it happens when the wheels are stuffed. I Linexed the bottom of my jeep and it rubbed off when I went out Sat night out at Wharton State Forest on Jemima Hill. |

need more bumpstops it sounds like. I can stuff 265-75-16s on Moabs and yes they come close but doesn't rub. I also trimmed part of my fender ( well as much as I could) to give some more room |

Just trimmed the plastic back as far as I could, if you look the flare goes in towards the wheel farther than the actual body metal does, so just trimmed back past the metal some, helps a little bit and so far so good Wish it was like the old days, baseball bat and a few minutes and you could open up the wheelwells some extra!

I had the same issue with my 245/75's on my Moab's. When I switched to 265's on Soft 8's with the recommended 7" rim, I never had the problem again. |

For those who read later, you might want to consider staying with 7" rims on KJ's. I have not wheeled a ton, but the 245 MTR's have not given me issues and I did not add extra isolators. I think using the stock rims helped. |
