You dawg!!! How'd you end up with that? Are you running a body lift at all? The reason I ask is because I'm still getting major rub at "extreme" angles on 33's! I've aalmost rolled it at least 15 times just d*cking around.
What is your complete set up? And do you have any bad sentiments about ditching the XREAS totally?

Yeah, I have a 1.25" body lift ... and 4.5" of suspension lift via NE (which will soon be in the trash). I do get some rubbing at extreme angles.
Yes, I have horrible sentiments about ditching the XREAS. I didn't want to at all. But I don't have much of a choice, if you read the thread about the re-locs, you'll see that I'm one of a couple people whose XREAS was destroyed by them. My shocks leaked all their fluid out from the XREAS system, and to get it repaired it would cost $1200-$1300 ... so if I did that, I'd still be stuck with having to run the NE lift and re-locs again because I can't go any less on the lift with these 35s ... so it'd just be the same thing all over again and just a matter of time before the re-locs destroyed the XREAS again.
So, for about that much, I'm just going to remove it and install those 2.0 SAWs, and get rid of the NE components.
Here's a picture of the NE front "spacer":

Ya know Tracy, if you don't toss the XREAS and just shelve it, we may be able to come up with a solution. Remember the XREAS regardless of everyone else's thoughts is a component system that can be replaced in parts......so all may not be lost in that regard.

yup, well, we'll see. I'm going to take it apart like it shows to do in the manual ... and keep it around just in case.
Looks like I won't get the stitches out until Monday, so I may not get to the install until next week. Soon though, soon.
