    I noticed the sound of metal hitting somewhere in my front suspension when I was wheeling and taking some hard hits on the suspension. Upon inspection I saw that the dirt on my upper control arm had been smudged off. I think the UCA is contacting the upper part of my fender well when stuffing my tire.

    I have the Wheelers super bumps, and I think they may be compressing so far that they allow the UCA to travel up and contact the fender well. What do you guys think? If it is the super bumps, I remember reading on the forums that someone added spacers below the bump stop to prevent this from happening. Seems like an easy fix. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks, Jonathan
