Greetings from Bristol,TN ! 2010 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - White

[cozdude]

Thanks for the love everyone! I'm still learning to drive this thing lol I live on the Holston Mtn so there's plenty of roads to ride.

I am having some rubbing issues since installing the 37's (I knew that I would have to deal with this). I haven't had an alignment performed not have I adjusted the steering stops. I installed my bds adj front trackbar and it has helped some. Mostly rubbing on the frame and lower control arm when turning and flexing. I believe it may be due to my rims having 4.75 backspacing .
Solutions for this ? : spacers ? 1.25?

Thanks everyone

to answer your question usually 4.5 backspacing or less you will not need to run spacers. this will help with the rubbing. so yes new rims with 4.25 or 4 inches of backspacing or the 1.25 spacer will help.

I just shimmed it out. Lost some steering radius but nothing horrible. Ill eventually get some spacers but it's not on top of my list of things to do. Warn Zeon 10k winch is next then some Evo rocksliders

Welcome!! Hey man I'm from Kingsport just down the road. Glad to see a fellow jeeper closer to home. What kind of deal did you find on those tires? I am in the process of making my list to order suspension, wheels and tires.

I got a killer deal but it took forever to get them in. More hassle than what it was worth.
As far as suspension, go talk to Mike at RPM in Bristol. He has a sick 12' jkur on 37's. shoot me a pm and we'll have to meet up and hit some trails!

I'm hoping it will allow us Southern Gentlemen of Wayalife get more organized.

I keep seeing your thread pop up...and I never wave (only on the real road) but this thread title keeps reminding me of all the Bristol night races we went to growing up. :rock:
