my 00' is on 3" with 31 1050's...after smashing my quarter panels in on the front end, im tryin to improve my flex on a budget. Ive considered chopping and running all the flares, but i really like the look of stock ones. Ive trimmed the plastic bumper ends and those dont get in the way anymore. Im extending my bumpstops this weekend, probably 3" of pucks. That should help, but what about 1.5" wheelspacers? or will they make me smash my panels even more? thought about trimming the inner plastic well too, since i see to have ripped it off around the edge. Any insight is appreciated!

 

remove your rear sway bar...

do you have front sway bar disconnects?

are your lower control arms smacking the axle side brackets?

are the shocks limiting your down travel?

are your brake lines long enough?

 

front sway bar disconnects are on, still have my rear sway bar on until i get around to extending the stops.
no problem with rubbing any of the undercarriage, just when i turn under flex.
brake lines are good and so are my shocks...
by pushing the wheel out further, will i gain or lose clearance under flex?
ive already got rims with 3.75" BS

 

with 3.75" back spaceing I don't think the spacers are going to help much if at all. its hard to tell without pics of it flexed but i would think it would push it closer to the wheel well when turned making it rub more.

after checking the list listed above I would cut to make it clear or bump stop it more. you could also put spacers and shackles on it to gain a bit more clearence too.

your shocks could be limiting your down wored flex too by being to short. i would bump stop it. measure eye to eye when fully compressed with shocks off. then buy a shock thay is just shorter then teh max compressed with the max length you can find, then add limiting straps so the springs don't fall out.
