I'm sure Papa can answer your question. He's low and on 20s.

That's the part I told you, you were rubbing before Kenny. Mine is bent from rubbing before. I've since got lower profile tires and my suspension is stiff enough now that it doesn't rub anymore.

haha yea i know chris. it didnt seem to be rubbing very badly though at that time. but im really noticing it now. do you think going from a 245/35 down to a 225/35 would help?

lol...don't tell Kenny we planned it and synced our watches up


Kenny...it might help. That is what I was running before (225/35) and it didn't rub as much but I wanted to go lower Do you have aftermarket sway bars?

^They will help stiffen things up in the front which will help with the rubbing.
