    Yeah I really don't know if the new fenders will give you enough clearance without a lift. Maybe someone else can chime in.

    Response Via Email (Renae)12/16/2011 09:44 AM Dear Edward,

    [Web Inquiry: 111215-000012]

    Thank you for your interest in the General Grabber AT2. Unfortunately, demand has exceeded our expectation, and it will take several months for production to reach your local General Tire dealer.

    Sincerely,

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    the wheel spacers will only make you rib more, because it puts your tire out father from where you turn at, so when youbturn your tire travles more distance to turn aka will rib more.

    if you want ill take pics of a 3 inch life with my 33s to show what i did and how bad it still rubs with no spacers, 3x12.5x15s

    He wants the grabber red letters, not the at2
    That's true if you push them out too far, like some folks do by running wheel spacers on aftermarket rims. A lot of the time though running wheel spacers on stock rims decreases rub by moving the tire further from the uca and cab mounts, but not so far out that it hits the fender on the outside. There's a sweet spot in there with minimal rubbing (at least with 285s, 12.5's maybe be a different story)

    I would really appreciate if you could take some pictures of your tires, and yes what you are saying makes sense, by extending the wheel to the outside the turning radius will become bigger so the travel will be longer, I don't mind to trim a little bit but I don't know how much is needed and where, please post your pics :)
