To chop or not to chop...

It really is dependent on how much caster you can get.

The more caster you have the father the front wheel is pushed forward in the wheel well or away from the cab mount

 

What he said...

 

Take your shock out and put ur tire on and trim or remove what it hits. Most people don’t do it right they just guess.

 

If you got to ask..... Just chop it already.

 

what were your numbers? I too have a cmc and going to have to bend over the pinch weld and hammer. running 285/70 17 @ 2.7* caster.

 

Same result here.

 

I’m getting ready to put 315/75/r16 on a 3 inch lift. Think I will have to trim anything?























Yes I know I’m going to have to cut 2 1/2 inches off my fenders

 

Someday I will be doing the same. Cant wait to be scrubbing in new places after lol

 

Welcome to the life of rubbing.

 

I’m just gonna use a bastard file, keep at it until it doesn’t rub.

 

What if I told you that I don’t rub off pavement and I run 35’s...?

 

Honestly, install your stuff then take it to a 4x4 shop. They should have a forklift that can stuff your tires to see where it rubs. A CMC is likely required but find out how much.

 

I realize it was a 2nd gen BUT... I had mine chopped on my 2006 with 11in of lift (6" Fabtech, 3in body and 2in race runner coilovers to 2.0") running 37s. No rub, when pulling into the mall parking lot. YEAH, I'm joking, 4.0L and 37s w 4.88s... Come get some!!

 

I do wish I had pics of the chop..

 

I believe it. I’m going to start this mission in a couple months.

 

Frankly, I don’t believe you.

 

Haha before spacer didn’t rub on anything besides the uca at full lock. It doesn’t rub 90% of the time now unless it’s fully stuffed and full lock

 

Lots and lots of cutting and hammering but it works amazing


My buddy with 35s has the same caster yet rubs on the street lol

 

yeah no way your running 35s with no rub. i did my cmc and a ton of trimming before switching to 35s and i still rub. my castor was also last set at 4.0.
