I'm having a clearance issue. The front is rubbing a bit on the plastic valance. But I doo have broken sway bar end links. Don't know if that would matter or not.

Just needing to know if anyone is running that tire size.

I have a thread started about the end links.

Yep, that's the way it came from the factory, that's all I ever ran.

Wonder why mine is rubbing?

Jbrew

Must be F'ed up or somethin.

Guess I'll have to do a Nascar speed clearance on it,,,lol.

I just want to confirm that I didn't have too big of tire before I go hackin. Maybe I ought to fix the sway bar before I do anything,,,lol

Rubbing all the time or rubbing when turning? The sway bar just helps with "body roll" so it wouldn't affect the ride height while going straight. But if you get rub when turning it could be the body rolling enough to rub the plastic. I think you've got other issues causing the clearance problem tho

I've trimmed my plastic to fit the tires I'm running and when my sway bar ends broke I never had an issue with clearance and/or rubbing.

I rubs when I go to back out of my driveway, and cut the wheels

Well then yeah swap out the sway bar before doing anything else. Shouldn't take ya too long to do it. One tip, my end links were broke and seized... sawzall can take the job from 2hrs to 20mins.
