unccpathfinder Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 take the flares off?...im actually getting ready to put mine back on the 95 i just bought...umm the only thing i could say is load it down and try to see where its rubbing and maybe take a cut off wheel and modify them? or get a lift if u tow a lot u might could get some stiffer springs or what not in the back?

Slick Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 push the back up n down and see if the shocks/coils are shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel-n-Dimer Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 You are probably right, I just last week put in some rancho5000 shocks in the rear and the stock one were still in the truck, I could easly push them in and pull them out like an accordian, I'm shure the springs should be replaced..

Slick Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 If you replaced the shocks (i too have the rancho 5000's with the jgcc conversion) then yes, you need coils.. if you tow, may as well go the whole hog n lift 'er in the back 2-4" with the JGC coils... kragens p/n PA 8360513 (FCS782V) $70 for the pair and easy to install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 plastic peices holding the rear flares on Mine are all metal clamp type things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Slick, where do you get this idea that since he replaced his shocks, the coils are automatically busted? Jeez. Please clarify: are the tires rubbing in front or rear? Your options are: Trim the fender flares with a utility knife. Remove the flares and hope the tires don't rub on the sheetmetal. Install a body lift or suspension lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Has anyone else had a problem with there tire's rubbing on the plastic peices holding the rear flares on(when loaded down or pulling trailer)...if so whats a good option to fix this? Thanks You can install air suspension kit. It's not too expensive and it really helps with heavy loads or towing. http://www.airliftcompany.com/new-index/Frameset.htm Edited February 19, 2006 by Filthy Luker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just giving him the cheapest fix of all......... it's his option to listen to me or not.. just a suggestion for him and to me it sounded like it's rubbing in the fender wells.....
