275/65/18 rubbing solutions? Modifications?
 

This tire is just over 32" tall and I was expecting rubbing.

Has anyone done any modifications to alliviate this?

I have searched the forum, but can't find anything on this.


Thanks

do you have rubbing? If so in what modes and while doing what?
You may want to modify the height sensor rods. I can make you a set you will gain 2" of height in all modes.

rod modification
 

Well I have another set of wheels with 30.5" tires. These are for everyday use.

How difficult is changing the rods everytime I go offroad? I looked at the mechanism and it seems fleemsy... I would break the sensor arm...

What is your experience?

It looks flimsy but I have swapped them about a dozen times and have not had any issues.

So you just switch them (install then uninstall) when you don't need the extra height? Is this like a 1-2hour thing for the avg joe? I have rubbing on mine but just barely and I'd like that extra height while off road...:D

Geez, just get a set of Cooper Zeon LTZ's from Discount Tire. They run long, quiet, and they fit. The amount of rubbing is so insignificant, as it only occurs on deep decompression. I have over 30,000 miles on mine and there are many more miles left. It really is a simple decision. Anything bigger than that is not worth the time unless you invest in a lift kit and a commercial kit is not yet on the market, although I know of one coming out soon.

You can swap the arms out in about a half hour I can do it in about 15 mins. It is simple and works great.

The lift that is comming out is basicly modified sensor arms. Why wait I have been making and using them for over a year.
