37 tires rubbing any advise please!

[painguy]

New to the h2, have had 4 h1's. decided to get an h2. the truck came with a key lift of 2.5 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear. it had 32's on it i bumped up to 37.13.5.17 on stock 2003 h2 wheels.

front rub on all turns and rears rub every time i go over a bump. I am not sure what keys the previous owner used to lift it and what if anything he did to the torsion bars.

any help would be greatly apprciated as this is pretty much the only informative ACTIVE forum for the h2! thanks again

I ran 37s on stock for many years. All it took was a really good alignment, then no rub.

Could be the backspacing of the wheels that causes the issue with it hitting frame.

Agreed...I'm running 37x12.5s (with Truxx keys and a Cognito leveling kit) and had rubbing with the stock rims. The backspacing on the stockers are 5.5" if I remember correctly. When I switched to XD rims (same tires) with a 4.5" or 4.75" backspacing the rub went away completely.

You're prolly gonna have a slightly different experience since your rubber is an inch wider than mine...but I'd still bet that after market rims will fix you right up.

Now rears are another issue..do you have bags or coils? Because bags are notorious for going bad and you may not be getting the amount of lift you need.
