[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 441746, member: 18789"] Wanted to come back and add to this. So I have mine back on the ground and steering is actually connected now. It appears that when I turn all the way, whatever tire is on the inside of the turn rubs the leaf spring. Meaning on a left turn, the rear side of the left tire just barely rubs the leaf. The steering stops are at the front side of the knuckles, so the right side limits left turns and left side limits right turns. I am rubbing equally on both sides so I’m going to put a small washer under each stop and call it good. If you want to avoid all rubbing you can do 235/75R15 instead, but I personally like 30x9.5R15 a bit better. For all stock driveline and such 235/75 might be a slightly better choice from a performance standpoint. It’s just a tiny bit narrower and about an inch shorter which is why it doesn’t reach the leaf to rub. But adjusting the steering stops is no big deal at all. [/QUOTE]
