| Need ideas of how to get rear body 1/4" taller
So, long story short, got my non-stock wheels and tires in for my CC-01 Bronco. I picked up a set of Pro10 1.9 beadlocks and 1.9 Out Croppers form RC4wd. While I have no doubt that I'll be happy with performance, my problem is the website and the tires both say they're 3.58" tall. Problem is, they're a hair over 4". While it doesn't have any problems with the frame, and the stock front body mounts give me plenty of room, the rears are at the max setting and the tires rub. I'm just wondering if anyone already had any luck raising the body mounts in the rear any particular way before I take it up to the hobby shop and start looking for alternatives. thanks! |

If the body mounts come off the top of the fenders... just use a spacer between the mount and the fender and a longer screw. If they come off the back of the fender (like I know a Pajaro and Wrangler do) then take off the rear body mount, turn it sideways (90 degrees) drill holes through it and bolt it back on. |

you can do a suspension lift with spacers, you can also drill another set of holes in the body in the rear 1/4 lower, the front you can put spacers in the black piece that locks the body on the chassis, you can get alittle more in the rear by sanding the mounts on the rear off a little bit,dont sand to much or you wont have enough material to hold ron
