well it depends. if you need more, you can either buy spacers, or get rims with the correct backspacing. if you need less, you need new rims.

bumpstops will help reduce rubbing when it comes to flexing. not turning your wheels. that is backspacing.
You also adjust the steering stops if you want.

I believe I need more backspacing....not too sure. It's mostly on hard turns

Yep. I don't recommend but it will help. Probably not flexing though only turning.

It prevents the rubbing by limiting your turning radius. Sometimes it's minor and you won't care. What size tires are you running?

Looks good Frost, I like the angle.
Pudgy is right about the turn stops, did that once to a 2000 and it stops the rubbing but really gets aggravating to loose that turning radius.
This weekend is Easter, but anything planned for the next?

And clown I did not know everyone was going to legore our I would have came out there. But how did you like it?
