I will have to check to see where I am at with my lift at this point. I think it is....21.5 front and 22 in the back but I could be mistaken. That is obviously form center hub to fender. Alignment? What is that

When I had the stock rims on my 2002 I had rubbing when at full lock. Not a big issue but I was shopping for some moabs. A few weeks ago I found some and had them installed. Now I have rubbing only when I hit larger bumps/pot holes/wheel rocks. The rub is at the pinch weld. I beat it down several years ago and recovered it with some remolded liner. The wheels never rubbed there before. I just find it a bit perplexing. Part of me wonders if my front shocks are starting to go...they are OME HD and have about 40k miles on them...I am a bit in shock considering I installed them in June of 2008, lol. My question is...why is it now rubbing here? And how long do the OME struts last? Could I need new ones already? |

I'm NO expert but it could have to do with the setup of the wheels. I believe they have different backspacing. Experts help me out? |

Little different back spacing on the Moabs , maybe just enough of a change to rub, lift maybe settling some, where are you at lift wise now. Most all I have seen have plenty of clearance when first installed but after 40-50,000 miles may have to bump it back up some. Alignment also be out have you had it checked lately, would have to be quite a bit but.... |

Alignment done and I will post if i have any more rubbing. Not sure when next trail trip is. Was hoping for next weekend but might be at the house again. Only have a few more weeks of season and i would really like to go but we will see. Perhaps the birds will get away this year. |

Forgot about this post even, another thing why it may be hitting is you went from a 7 to 8 inch wheel, little wider so hitting in a different area. Also not sure what you were when you lifted but I'd say the springs have settled 1/2-3/4 or possible more, shocks would have nothing to do with any loss of lift. |
