|  Little Help Needed
Hey guys, i finnally got my wheels in so i could put them on my crawler. Little background its the basic sw2, maxx shocks, 645 servo, etc. While waiting for my wheels i was running the stock wheel and tire combo and everything was fine. Now i got my wheels, narrowed revolvers 1.5 inches wide. and moabs and now when i turn my tire rubs on my shock spring. Anyone else have this problem? is it bad? I know i may need wideners but i dont want to go too wide i kind of like the stance of the truck now. I dont do comps so if anything whats the narrowest widener i can get by with so i dont rub? Any help is appreciated Jay |

My tires rub the shocks a little at full turn, and as the suspension cycles. It won't hurt anything as long as the contact is minimal.

It contacts enough to cause the spring to rotate around the shock body. It doesnt bind or anything just rotates. Jay |

Don't worry about it, you're fine. Mine did the same, didn't bother me. I prefer mine narrow over wide.

mine does the same thing. What you can do is mount the bottom of the shock in more on the bottom, Instead of in between the lower shock mount, run it just on the inner side. Hopefully that made sense  |

Thanks guys i appreciate it, aslong as im not the only one. I just never really saw any other threads about it so i figured im the only one. Ill leave it for now but i amy run a small widener but i like how it looks a little more narrow since its not a comp truck it looks a little more scale with the c-10 body and narrow stance even though its not a scale chassis.

Instead of widening it a ton, cant you just put the blackfoot axle stubs on the tlt? i thought the blackfoot stubs were a hare longer then the stock tlt's, giving a small amount of widening. please correct me if i'm wrong... |
