getting a 2inch suspension lift and moving up to 235/85/16 tires. Wanted to know if i would need to do any trimming to stop the wheels from rubbing. Taken me forever to finally put the lift and tires on it, and i'll be sure to put some pics up,lol.

usually the rear quarter panel will have to be trimmed and steering bump stops adjusted

 

steering bump stops? how is that done?

 

there is a large nut in front of the swivel *****. turn the steering wheel all the way to one side and you will see it making contact with the axle.

 

what do i need to do to correct it, so it isn't touch the axle when i turn the steering wheel

 

no the nut touching the axle is your bumpstop... turn your wheel with the bigger tires in place until they contact your control arms, then turn it back just enough to not touch the control arms... now with the tires amost but not quite touching the control arm adjust the steering stop nut until it contacts the axle... therefore stopping your tires from rubbing your control arms...
