theres actually no rubbing at ride height... but when jacked up a tiny bit the wheels rub on the back of the front arch... think I may move the axle forward as it will give me a better approach angle like that!

i'm going to put my small lift shackle on the front and it should level out the front and the back... as the back is currently higher! should give a bit more clearance on the front arch as well

Just thought I'd add a pic with ALL of the wheel and tyres on... it was clean the day before the pics, went doing a 1/2 mile byway and voila!

Anyway this is how it is now standing, as I put my 1" extended shackles back on to help with clearance and spring movement!

Think I need to make some wheel arch extensions this month!!! :)

Also I'm off to a pay and play tomorrow so should have some more interesting pics upon my return :)
