Rusty's advertises a set of LCAs with a bend in them for using stock wheels. Does anyone have any experiences with these? The website says it'll allow you to run 33s on stock rims without rubbing. I'm a little skeptical of that. I know a 33 would rub the fender, but after i have that trimmed up, will i face other issues? Here's the product:

Bad experiences with these, good ones? Looks like they're made for special for your lift height which is good.

This may sound like a dumb question, but you do have a lift, right? You make no mention of it, you have 6 posts & your profile is not filed out.
You can't just install the LCAs & run 33s.

he mentioned trimming the fender in addition to these. He sure could run them without a lift. They make them custom to what you need.

Yes, sorry i haven't had much time to get my profile up in shape. I'm lifted 4.5 inches, actual lift between 5 and 5.5. I just want to know if these would allow me to run around 4.5-5.0 BS on my wheels. Lift laws, need fender coverage, not a bushwacker fan, ect. Everyone talks about LCA rubbing and I just wondered if this is an effective fix for that issue.

Yes they should work for you. Call them up and ask about it.

As exjay1027 said, they should work and a 5 minute call should get you the information you need. They are pretty easy to talk to from my experience.
You can also add a washer or two to your steering stops to compensate. You'll lose a little bit of turning radius, but it should do the trick if it's that important to you.

I do believe if it were me I would start liking a quality flair and a proper size wheel with 3 3/4" to 4" max BS. Then use a HD set of Adj. U/LCA's and get all you have paid for with your lift.


IMHO you will be much happier with the setup and you can call Rustys and speak with him I have on quite a few different times over the last 3 yrs and many $$$$ later. He is a great help on setups and parts most of all when I increased my lift to 4 1/2" and upgraded everything to HD items.

No, those control arms seem to be stock length and you have a sizable lift. Also, if you plan on off-roading, don't buy poly bushing control arms.

I believe the TJ and XJ have the same axle dimensions, if so, you can do what I did on my TJ to run 4.5BS wheels with 33's -- simply extend the steering stops ever so slightly until the tires don't rub at lock. Downside is a slight loss of steering radius. But I'm saving .5-1in of tires sticking out.
