The frame, the sway bar, and the back outer edge of the front fender.
Never heard of rubbing a body mount, but I never rule anything out.

BTW hows that bracket that was in the way of your front diff coming out working for ya?


X2 . . .really I only ever barely hit my frame when im really cranking the tires in turns RARE!!

Idk.. i saw the marks from his tires on the body mounts.. I'm thinking of either putting 33s or 35s thats why i'm wondering..

You could always go with a narrow tire. Like a 33x10.50. The slimmer tire would be lighter and maybe not hurt MPG and power as much, and also wouldn't rub as bad. Plus they could be mounted on factory wheels instead of needing 8 or 10 inch wide wheels for the 12.50 width.

Plus a slimmer tire is better in the mud. Why do you think mud runners run the tall narrow tractor tires? Probley would do better on slick asphalt also.
