Tire clearance????

[WraithKrawlr]

So I just picked up a trx4 bronco got some axial 1.9 beadlock wheels and proline 1.9 swampers there not the xls and they rub like crazy what all can I do to help without cutting the body up would stretching them on a 2.2 rim help any since it wouldn't be as tall

Ya I raised it like 2 holes and moved the bumpers out some just wondering if there was any little tricks to this rig to get some more clearance without making it to much more top heavy

What, exactly, are the tires rubbing? If you mean the body, the only thing you can do is raise it or trim it. The body has wheel wells that were only made to accept tires around the stock size of 4.6". Super Swamper XL's are 4.75" or more.

When flexing they rubbed the bumper body and inner fenders I moved the body up some and moved the bumper out now only rubs when extremely articulated but seems more top heave since moving the body up

Something's not jiving here...

I run 1.9 XL's on my bronco with no rubbing, Zero trimming required, body is in stock position. It's a very common combo.



1.9 non XL's are 4.2, XL's are 4.75ish. Can't be running non XL 1.9 tires... as the 4.2's wouldn't rub in any way

So taking a step back, I'm thinking you do at least have the XL tires. OR you have 2.2 tires in non XL which are about 5.4" which would indeed rub. Pics are worth 1000 words here.


In any case, crank down on your preload collars on the shocks a bit to raise your ride height. Your truck must be sitting way low. Only thing I can think of.

He mentioned that he's running them on 2.2 wheels. I think the width may be his problem, but I'm not sure.

I didn't realize the 4.75" tires would fit without rubbing. My KLR's barely clear so I incorrectly assumed the XL's would rub.

Not yet apparently. You've been inside too long.

I'm thinking they are already 2.2's, non XL. WraithKrawlr, did you buy the wheels and tired New? Used?

I'm going crazy...er.

They are 1.9 xl on 1.9 beedlock my bad I didn't think they were and I got them brand r new lol and they rub the links bumpers body I'll probably end up taking them off I did see somewhere on here where flipping the front bumper mount around did that and helped a lot but still having clearance issues

Those Boggers are about 5.4" tall...same height as some 2.2 tires. The Traxxas lift kit would help but those tires are just too tall to tuck under most bodies. If they're hitting your links you'll have to adjust your endpoints with your transmitter and/or get wider wheel hexes to push the wheels out. You'd have better luck with the TSL SX Super Swamper XL that people thought you were talking about...4.75" tall.

It is generally acknowledged that the stock TRX4 Canyon Trail tires are actually pretty decent performers. Going down the tall tire and lift kit route will net you a tipsy truck.
