Yes, I can see. Probably rubbing in the rear. You an add a spring leaf and lift up the rear a little. That is the only suggestion I have

Was looking into different fender flares for front.
I didn't get a chance yet to see how much distance I really need yet.

Air shocks would do the trick.Originally Posted by Justine96xj

What's the distance from center of wheel to bottom of flare (that's the official unofficial measurement). If your leafs (sic) are flat, might want to consider slapping in new heavy duty ones. There's a few things that usually go awry during install but solutions have been discussed here many times. NBD, a little labor intensive and may need to tool up.

Harbor freight has some pretty decent grinder and sawzalls. Xj is the perfect platform to learn how to use them on.
metal from fenders can be trimmed near where the plastic flares mount. I was rubbing there and fixed that, 33x 12.5 tires, but I am lifted! still have the stock flares, but my tires do extend beyond them, which is not legal in some places.
Assist or helper gas shocks can add a bit of lift which might be all you need. I raised my van a tad bit with gas assist shocks. Easy fix, and easy to undo if you dont like it.
