3/8 here, and still rubbing

 

Don't think you need em.It is suppose to compress to about the same as stock.

 

If I hadn't gone to sleep at 7 last night and saw this I woulda joined too haha. At least I got some rounds off yesterday

 

If your running a larger size tire than stock, then you may need the spacers. I did, my setup was 33x12.5/17 with king c/o's, icon billet uca's, and dirt king lca's. I ran wheelers bumps with 1 spacer and rubbed hard at full bump. One of the guys at my work is running 285/75/16's with camburg uca's, stock lowers, and glass fenders, he rubs his inner fenders and they are atleast an inch higher than the stock outer fenders.

If your running a 33" or bigger tire you may need them depending on how you run your truck. Most of my rubbing was a higher speeds although I did rub a little on mjt.

 

Nothing to fix. It just needs more rounds put through it to smooth it out. It's new metal on new metal.

 

Just get a Timney trigger like me

 

I got away with minimal to no rub (top of the wheel well) even at full compression. 285/75R16's, too. Still haven't put spacers on the front bumps and no issues. I had to shorten the rear ones as they engaged too early and too hard

 

I had a blast on Sunday out on our Barstow trip and met some new TW members. Thanks again @stvstoy for pulling me out of the mud!

 

Again, new metal on new metal. They have rough edges that will work themselves out over time. It was hanging up worse before @MotoEd worked it out a bit. Just needs more rounds. I could take a file to it but I'd rather not.

Time to go clean it though haha

 

I wouldn't count on it haha. If not we'll hit the range Thursday

 

@stvstoy Always making us 2wd guys look bad, LOL

 

You can see the burnouts, that was as high as I could make it.

 

How many rounds you put through it since the last cleaning? Most new shooters clean too often and clean before it even sees it's 2nd round through the chamber.

 

I probably put 100-150 rounds

 

Keep going. Let 'er get grimy and start to have failures. You'll learn a thing or two.

 

I like to prevent failures, thank you haha. I wasn't gonna do a deep cleaning, but at least wipe them down and run the bore snake through it, although I couldn't get the bore snake to drop so I just wiped it down and re lubed the bolt haha

 

Trust me at 100 rounds you're wiping off clean oil.

 

I run the cheapest of the filthiest. I clean maybe every 500.

I let it sit and fester, too.


I also use Froglube so not a single piece of carbon sticks to shit.
