Hey guys,

I recently had 32"s put on my cherokee with a 4 inch lift. The tires are o.k except for the front 2. They rub right behind the tires on the fender where it attaches to the 1/4 panel. I was just going to cut a section away and put some screws in to hold the fender but has anyone else done something better ? pics would help ! thanks guys !

You can either do longer control arms and push the axle foreward or you can trim the fenders. I have 3" with 33's so you can deffently do 4" with 32's.

if your running an actual kit it should have come with proper length LCAs, im at 4.5" with 32x11.5s and only spot i rub is at full turn on the LCA

Just start cutting and don't stop I run 36's on a 5.5

i run 33s on a 2 inch, the only rubbing i have is the top of my fenders, my lower CA's, and my sway bar discos.

Also with these new tires and 16x7 8" MR-1 rims, I get a periodic whirling sound coming from the tires when going completely straight on a highway around 60 -70 mph ? I was thinking since my front end is completely stock except for the lift which was just coils, shocks and steering stabilizer, that I def need that long arm kit. Maybe an alignment ? also the steering stabilizer is about 5 years old so maybe that ? IDK ?

I run a 4.5" lift on 32/11.50/16 on a 16x9 rim. I have the correct offset. They still hit in lock turn on the front fender trim. they are a procomp all terrain. I think I may have to add a cutout fender trim.. You may have to do the same? Not sure if Wheel spacers would help??

xDARKWAVEx

Yeah, thats with 1" spacers that i had already. Im just gonna cut away 2 " from the bottom of the fender and see what happens.

JAYSSICKXJ

Let me know how u cut them.. please take pics.. I need to do that as well..

xDARKWAVEx

Well, I basically just cut a section away from the bottom of the plastic fender where it was rubbing only to find out that it was also hitting the metal of the 1/4 panel. I took a pair of vice grips and rolled the metal inward about an inch, cut the wheel well plastic cover, drilled some holes and ziptied what needed it and sprayed anti-rust where some paint came off when i was bending the metal. Ill get some pics up asap.

Flex room!!!

Haha I know, my baby flex like a ****. But the tires do look stock because of the wheel well gap.
