RE: torsion adj..

If I recall correctly IK, did you say your tires didn't rub at all? It must be that slight offset of your rims that allows a little more clearance on the inside. My new tires rub, although only when fully cranked on either side. It's rubbing against the sway bar, so nothing that could cause any serious damage. I think

. Because I'm using the stock rims, do you think adding spacers (1/2") to the front rims to push it out a little would eliminate rubbing? I've never used spacers before, does it mess with your alignment?

stock rims will probably rub with the mickeys, I know a few guys running BFG on stockers and they don't rub at all but the BFG are not as wide as the MTZ's. You can add spacers if you want, I have them on my jeep for this very reason and have had no problems in over 50,000 miles now. I don't think you will need an alignment again as all your doing is pushing the rim towards the fender and not changing the camber or caster.

yeah, I was kind of questioning why he was using an impact.[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

btw, I need to give props where props are due. Thanks IK for all the advice on tires in previous threads. I finally picked up the Mickey Thompson MTZ 315/75/16s. A whole lot of sidewall, but I kind of like the beefy look. I guess I'll have to stock up on Mcguires tire dressing, damn I used a whole can. I haven't had a chance to take some pix, weather here is pretty crappy. But I'll get some up eventually

thanks again[sm=happybounce.gif]

Hey Nalu,

Any pics of the new beefier H3? Were you just at Pflueger the other day? Man, we have to go on a run real soon!!

Yo Marc! Yup was there, met up with Brandon. I had to get the new meats before the Feb. run, but definitely would do some trials with da boyz prior

I'm putting in the Truxxx kit tomorrow so I'll post some pics (weather permitting)...It was pretty stupid to have the thing aligned, only to decide later that I wanted to drop the truxxx kit in it, only to have to align it again!!! what a waste of money! Well, i just hope it's worth it.
