Hey guys I put a RC 6.5 lift on my 89 and I have the km2 35s. I cut the fenders and when I took it down the wash by my house I could climb out because the tires where going into the back fenders. I cut them all the way to the to the aside of the wheel well and folded them back. It is hitting on the bottom corners.

How do I fix this I don't wanna have to trade my tires in for 33s

you need more cutting and pounding or some taller bumpstops. pics of where it rubs would helps also.

Here are some pictures it is rubbing in the back part of the fender. I bent it back as far as it could go

My bumpstops are shot they are stock and crumbling but I think it would still catch the fender even if I had new bumbstops put I don't no much. That is why im on here.

That doesnt look like an actual 6.5''s of lift to me,is it a add a leaf?

mmattern1985

That's what I was thinking. I got it off of craigslist. The instructions that he gave with me say its a 6.5 i think it was just really used and the springs droop a little

How can I check to see if its an actual 6.5 lift

Skunkape

Measure from the top of the axle tube up to the unibody (right above the bump stop)stock is around 6'' so if its 6.5'' of lift you should have a measurement of 12.5''

I checked out a couple of write ups and basically what it looks like I have to do is bend that whole bottom part of the fender up and out of the way. I can't seem to find actual instructions on how to do it though.

Look at my springs are I know they aren't supposed to look like that but I measured it and it is only 10 inches so even with the springs being worn out, if was actually a 6.5 inch full spring pack lift, would it cause me to sit at 10 inches. Or did I get screwed and pay for a 6.5 inch lift and only got a 4.5 cuz the rear sifts as hi as the front maybe even a tad bit higher

I checked all the pieces with rough country and everything I had was in the 6.5 lift kit

Wow I just checked there website again and all the same parts come in both kits just one is taller
