Hey guys,
I recently had my explorer (99 XLT) out on the trail for the first time. When flexing out the rear fully (with no swaybar), the tire began to rub on the inside face of the rear fender. I have 33x12.5x15 BFG AT with 15x8 4" BS Cragar soft 8's. For lift I have the TT, warrior shackles, AAL, and 3" BL I know a lot of people on this site have the same or similar setup so I was wondering what others have done about this?
I don't like the idea of having the tires rub like that. It stops the truck and you have to give it more gas to get it to move again. I don't want to damage the tire. I was thinking I could extend the bumpstops to limit flex. Has anyone else done this?
Thanks.
