    stick the jack underneath by the wheel where the trailing arm is and jack it up high you will see where it hits

    you won't be able to simulate a big bump with you and a friend pushing down on the car.

    rolling the fenders is easy so long as you use heat and take your time. i've done it many times with a heat gun and a rubber mallet. in fact i still start out rolling fenders this way and then i switch to the roller after i get it moved a decent amount.

    I did not say lowering will not make it rub. I said this so you can give the car a better stance. Rolling the fenders is a must if you are going to lower.

    So I jacked the car up to see the tire does eventually touch fender. It surprises me with gap I have I would bottom out that much to actually rub over freeway bumps. Leads me to believe my struts and or springs are going bad Unless this is typical?
