Strategies to combat rubbing while flexing.

Chocolate thunder was a great source but you’re not going to get a reply. He just recently passed away from cancer.

Sad to hear. He was a nice guy. Always helpful. Do you have any information regarding his obituary?

Why not let it rub?

Because I don’t want a lug to catch and rip them off.

I just put 2024 rubicon x new car take off wheels and tires (BFG KO2 315 70 17 tires) on my two door JL rubicon. Looks and rides great but at full flex (without sway ar disconnected) I get slight rubbing on the rear driver side tire. I have receive conflicting advice as to how to fix this , or if I even need to fix this. First we only do light to moderate off-roading, mostly in Colorado, never any hard core rock crawling. Assuming I should go ahead and fix this, I am looking at either 1/2” spacers at all four corners or 1” spacers at all four corners. Assuming I do one or the other, will I also need bump stop extensions. If so, the smallest extension I can find is a 1” extension. what About no spacers but adding a 1” bump stop extension. Because neither my wife nor I is tall, my preferred course of action, if this would fix it, would be to add 1/2” spacers. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

I should have been more specific. The rubbing is on the outer lip of the left rear fender at full flex.
