Default Question bout a comp cut...

OK so iv put new shocks new leaf springs and a set of boomarang shackles helped my rear flex alot more buthan still getting caught on my cage so was just wondering if anyone had ever done a comp cut with the stock wheel base and if they did was there any benefit to it? I plan stretching it later on either longer springs or moving mounts back some but I just didn't wanna do the cut now if I wasn't gonna gain anything...

Taller bump stops would be a lot easier.

If it's hitting your cage I don't understand how comp cutting would do anything without re configuring your cage.

Its mostly hitting on the sides before it ever makes it to my top runner by time it hits there it has my tire compressed I figure my axle is moving back as it flexes towards the body so I thought maby making a bigger open in the back would help?

Pics would be helpful. Are your rear fenders trimmed, or still stock (not sure if your profile pic is your rig, but if so, your rear fenders do NOT looked trimmed).

If your tire doesn't fit in the wheel well, you either need a smaller tire, or a bigger wheel. Sounds like you need to either trim or tub the rear fenders.

The comp cut is not going to buy very much. MAYBE an extra inch, if that.
