    It causes your frame to scrape what tires are you running.. I mean dont get me wrong I have the same setup and cant get up my drive unless I back in sideways but just driving around dont have a problem. Dont even have a problem with speed bumbs as long as I take it slow.

    Are these used parts? You have the anti-pogo washers? You replace the strut mounts when you had this installed? Mine are old and I don't bottom out, only if the angle is more then like 40* angle, but thats why I still have my trailer hitch.

    by stock I assume 225/60/16?
    I'm running 245/45/17's no probs with rubbing
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!

    So is your body scraping on the road or are the tires rubbing?
