1. Are your rear fenders chopped?
2. What size tires/wheel offset are you running?
3. What brand lift is it?
4. Are you still running a stock rear sway bar?
5. How much rubbing are you getting?
Pictures help...

MntsRCool... flex whatever set up you have till you rub. find distance from current bumpstops to 1/4" before rubbing. install spacers. Hockey pucks work great at 1" per puck and $2 a piece, longer blots a must obviously.

great that you memorized the 5 basic questions of almost every thread beginner but in this one instance it doesn't apply.

he didn't generically ask how to stop the rubbing (in which case i would have asked the same questions you did) , he asked specifically how to stop rubbing using bumpstops, and do it cheaply.

With 4.5" lift, I tried the 2" spacer for the rear bump stop and was still short about 1.5". Will add these http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/susp...p-cherokee-xj/

This is the cheapest way I know of for a DIY longer bumpstop in the rear.

all i needed 2 know was cheap way to bumpstop because with 33s at 4.5inches of lift and trimmed fenders i still rub in the rear pretty badly i think its because of my ad a leaf, leaf pack is super duper flexy and the pack is flat
and FYI
4.5inch lift
33x12.50 tires
15x10 idk back spacing but they stick out ALOt!!
fenders are cut and folded

I run 33's on 10 in wide wheels,3 in. lift,cut fenders & mine is just about right with the spacer in there.

This is what I used at 3" with 33's. Scrap 1/4" plate and bump stops off a Chevy D44. If I had to do it again, I would of welded a stanchion on them. Ah well, they still work.
