What should I do

[KJJosh]

I have 245/70/17 Destination AT tires installed and I have a rubbing issue. It appears to be rubbing on the bottom airdam on the front bumber while turning.

Should I cut the damper or replace the bumper? I need to see pictures of everyones front bumper to see how you cut it......

I'm also rubbing on the inner fender well when going off-road and turning at the same time... anybody got pictures????

How tall is your lift, because I was under the impression that a 30.5" tire would fit a lifted KJ???

Sawzall cures all

It's just plastic. Get a heat gun from a hobby shop (~$15) and use it on the offending plastic to heat it, then push the plastic inward to make it stop rubbing.

Plastic rubbing doesn't hurt nothin

Or just give the tires a few thousand miles to wear a bit, if it's a minor rub.

Not a bad idea TBJ!!! I think I'll pick one up on my way home from work tomorrow

It's the only way to fly. Plus, you'll find many other uses for the heat gun after you buy it.
One of ThunderbirdJunkie's favorite tools.

And don't forget pic's!!!! This is the same rim/tire size I will be going with soon, so I am very curious to see how it all turns out for you.

all I used to fit 245/75 MTR's on OE wheels on our '03
was a heat gun ,and OME med springs all around
need to drop the rear bump stops about an inch or less to stop the rear rubbing at very full stuff but like was said rubber on plastic = rubber wins
