    those are damper adjustment not coil adjustable. you are at max lift but can adjust damp based on road condition. so your only choice is to cut off the corner of that bumper.

    The backspacing on your wheels are probably what's causing your rubbing. I run close to the size you're running and don't rub at all. Not a cheap fix however lol

    EDIT: Read some more, you said it rubs on the outer fender? Time to start cutting my friend.

    No, no rubbing on fenders, just a bit on the bumper. Probably would need to shave at least good 1.5" off the bumper. Only rubs on the outside of the tires at about 90% turn. It's worse when there's a passenger because of the extra weight I'm assuming. I only weigh 140# so I know that's not it haha. Thanks for all the help guys. Looks like I need to deal with it until I can get some bilstein 5100s or just shave the bumper about 2". I'll also look into the settings on my current shocks.

    No idea on backspacing or rim width, all I know is there 33x12.5s on a 15" wheel.

    What's the differences on backspacing and rim width anyway? Layman terms anyway?

    If you don't want to invest for another set of wheels I suggest cutting the corner. Compare to all the other bumper design, this one hang low on the corners.
