Okay guys, I wanted to order a lift kit and fit 32"s under it. I went to quadratec and asked the rep what i should order in order to do that. He told me a 3in" skyjacker lift. I asked SEVERAL times if it would rub? He said no everytime. I order it and of course it rubs. I end up having to take the fender flares off. The tire then bumps my rear well in the back part. chipping the paint and causing it to rust. my question is what do i do? Do i fix the rust? but then it would just happen again? I dont want the rust to spread. So i need help on options. Look at my pictures on my profile to see what im talking about. Might be hard to see the exact rust spot. There are two and they are identical on both sides. Thanks for the help!

I also can't believe that Quadratec told you that a 3" lift would clear 32's without rubbing... psshh... I barely cleared 31's with 3.5" lift without rubbing. I ended up having to cut my front flares level with the bumper.

That's a negative. Not quite sure I've even seen those before, but those appear to be strictly for coil spring (in our case, front end) usage only. Besides, $185 is a lot for a bump stop. You don't need anything fancy, just something to extend your OEM bump stops or replacement extended bump stops, like so: http://jeepinoutfitters.com/scripts/...?idproduct=179

Thank you guys so much! Idk what i would do without you. And yeah quadratec screwed me over. not to happy about that. I could have gotten a 4" or 4.5 but since the guy told me 3 i trusted him. And now im stuck with this.

Yea, or extended brake lines. Going from 3"-3.5" lift to 4" or more requires more parts, like extended brake lines, longer trac-bar, drop pitman arm for steering, possible slip yoke eliminator for rear driveshaft, longer shocks, etc. May not be worth it to you if you're not willing to shell out that kind of money. If that's the case, I'd just trim the fenders just a tad, get those extended bump stops by DayStar and a can of matching touchup paint, and call it good.

Sounds good. Where would i get the matching touch up paint?
