I'm running a 3" lift and 31's with 15x8's and 3.75 B/S When I am fully flexed out while disconnected wheeling the Edge of my tire will rub the bottom of the trim on my bumper caps . I have no clue how he is rubbing with 5" of lift on 31's Unless he is running a stock trac-bar an his axle is pulled to the driver side instead of centered

I would order a Double Shear Trac-bar an get the axle centered then try again !
I would also buy some longer brake lines and shocks if I was you if you plan on wheeling .

The stock ones are extremely weak stamped steel Chances are if you wheeled hard enough you could have bent one slightly. Seeing that you are running a stock trac-bar that has not been re drilled that is why you are rubbing !

Well I will measure again tomorrow, but stock is 17 correct? iirc it was right at 22 after lift, which makes sense, considering the coils I got were 3'', and I bought 2'' coil spacers.

i wouldn't call bs. bs insinuates he's lying. which i think he's just mis-informed.
he looks to me like he's sitting at about 3.5 to 4 inches of actual lift.

I just remeasured, and my front is 22'', and the rear is right at 21''.
I plan on redrilling the tracbar tonight. Question though. I put a lever on my tires, and measured the gap between the level and the fenders on each side, with it being 3'' on the drivers side and 2'' on the pass. side. Divide the difference, and you get 1/2'' the trac bar needs to be moved over to re center the axle. My question is though, which way does it need to move that 1/2''? I would think towards the pass. side since it is the one that is shorter, but Im not real sure. So which way should I drill the hole; 1/2'' toward the drivers side, or towards the pass. side, that is looking from the front.

honestly, id leave it if you plan on getting an adjustable tbar. mine is a half inch off center and i have no deathwobble from it so i figured id leave it for a while till i get an adjustable one
