Tire rub at full stuff?

[JeffPro4x]

I have 3" lift in the rear. While checking over everything after ecxc (my first real wheeling trip), I noticed rub marks on the upper wheel wells. Is this normal? Do I need to extend my bumpstops? Don't want to tear up a tire or something

That's normal. Mine do same thing. But only when fully stuffed. I'll be getting wheel spacers to fix it eventually. However since it is only during full stuff and minor rubbing it's not super high on the "to do" list.

Yhst seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

Yeah, I added 1.5" wheel spacers JUST to the rear hubs for that exact reason.

Wheel spacers ftw. I did 1.5 rear and 1.25 front. No mo rubbing.

Lots of cutting in the front though.

If you just did the rears, no front trimming.

I'd do the fronts too if I put em on. I don't want to be looking like a dually!

It doesn't really look like a dually though:

OEM Rims, 5.5" BS, + 1.5" rear spacers and none in front. Tires are 33 x 13.5/16...only plastic trimming, tight turning radius, and, no rear frame rail rub.
