Tire Rubbage

[smallfry]

For the past couple of wheeling trips I've done I've been hearing a sound of something rubbing when the suspension is flexing but I never could see any evidence of where it was rubbing at.

We'll today I've found the problem thanks to some mud:

Driver's side rear

So at full stuff the driver's side rear tire rubs the inside of the fender. The passenger side doesn't rub when stuffed.

What would cause just the drivers side rear to rub?

Did you get the panhard bracket installed after you put on your lift?

The panhard bar is the adjustable from Sonoran Steel.

I'd think that is from having the panhard bar too long rather than too short.

Having too long of bar will make your driveshaft hit the gas tank too. Id just stick to a stock bar or keep it a little shorter. With a 3" lift, you should only have to lengthen the panhard bar by like 1/2" tops.

I was running 35's on my last truck and I had to trim out about 2-3 inches of the rear wheel well on the rear. I am really surprised not many others had to do this, especially those who run 35s. It makes me wonder if they actually use their rigs, or if they've just got special powers.

Here's a pic of the rear trim:

And how it stuffed:

If his panhard was too short wouldn't it pull the outside edge of his rear tire inward thus creating the rub in the middle of the wheel well?

See how yours is in the above photo...it would shift the axle towards the passenger side. Thats my thinking atleast but Baja Runner might be right.
