Now the springs are secure and ready to go out:

Installed BB and ready to lift the axel back on its place, hardest part was to get BB under the spring.

after 2 more hours second is also done, had to remove stabilizer suport to get the spring out correctly, on back wheels managed to install BB without any disassemblys.

Not much space is left between wheel and front fender and inner-fender, will need to figure out the way to secure under fender and to cut as little of fender as possible to prevent rubbing

About house I know but my dad is kinda hard to make to put instruments back in place after he was doing something. I already have 3 times cleaned the garage but it lasted that way for max of 2 weeks, I just gave up.:deadhorse:

It looks like for this weekend I wont be able to go wheeling yet, we are fixing package to ship to our friend to Ukraine and still need to do some shoping, I hoped that 3 Sunday were enough, but it seems that my wife don't think so, but on the other side I will have good excuse for next weeked, since I've been so good husband all month:grinpimp:

Guys need help with solving problem of wheel rubbing, my wife is totally against trimming, is there any other way to prevent rubbing (wheel spacers, overland springs????), I also wasn't expecting to have problem with rear wheels, but they also rub on bumps.:confused:

First thing to do is to figure out what it is rubbing on first. Then it's easier to come up with a solution for the problem. In the front I think you are going to have to trim it to keep it from rubbing, looks like a tight fit.

Tell her tough shittin and trim. Your only running 2 inches of lift with bigger tires. Those tires could really use 3.5 inches and would still rub a little.

Have heard something about bump stops but have no idea where to get one of the right size, or they are home made?
