i have 3" pro comp coils on the front with a .75" spacer and rough country full 4" packs on the rear. lower control arms for a 3" pro comp lift. i am running 31/10.50 on the front with 1.5" offset spacers, and i rub on the back of my fenders when at full lock. think its a good excuse to get a bigger lift. but what im looking at getting is 1.5" shackles on the rear, 4.5" coils with my .75" spacer on the front, adjustable upper and lower control arms, brake lines, and i need an adjustable trackbar too....all this is aboot 800 bones. is there a way i can get more lift for cheaper while not compromising my ride quality, as this is a daily driver? any ideas would really help, thanks guys. ill put an off road pic cuz i personally like looking at any jeep havin fun in the boonies.....crawlin on rock trails, the town of green river wyoming in the background.

First off, I gotta say I'm a HUGE fan of that color!
Are you rubbing on the flare, the inner fender well, or the lower control arm?
If it's the flare or fender well you'll likely need longer lower control arms to push the axle forward to proper position.

Normally a set of wheels with less backspacing would fix that problem. Considering though that you're running the 1.5" adapters I don't know. Do you know what your total backspacing is by any chance?

i haven't done any trimming, but i think my springs have sagged cuz i never used to rub unless i was flexed way out. ill have to look at trimming....Originally Posted by noXaddtheM
Did you trim/cut and fold that little seam in your fender well? It could be that if you didnt..

no, i have not...but i rub now pretty much on flat ground at full lock, or when im spinning cookies on an icy empty parking lot not really leaning and my tires are turned really tight, i rub inside my fender wellOriginally Posted by Tom95YJ
Did you extend the bumpstops ? I don't rub with a 3.5" lift on 33's

Ecco rims are 5.5" BS, with your spacers that brings the total to 4". Should be fine in that dept. I agree with the LCA comment - are they adjustable? If not see if you can hammer that bit on the inner fender and/or look at bumpstopping.Originally Posted by sheepdog

If your springs have sagged that would push your axle forward. From the specs you posted, 3.75" total lift with LCAs for 3", makes sense that it would rub on the back without trimming.

Are you sure its your fender well your rubbing on or the lca?
I was running 32's and 2in of lift.
Anyways there is no reason to go larger with your lift.
You need to bump probably 1.5in front and rear.
May have to trim the lower 4in of your rear fender flare about 1/4" and that is about it.
