BL and 285's are on (pics)

Finally got the body lift and 285's on yesterday. I had the same problem that someone else on the board had with the tires rubbing on the A-arm at full droop. The guys at discount didn't want to put them on, but once I told them to drop it down they saw that the barley cleared. I jacked up the front end at home to test it again and at full droop the just barley rub, the tire still spins though. Is this a problem I should worry about before I take it off-road again?? It didn't seem like it was rubbing enough to blow it out or anything. Anyone else's 285's rub like that?? Thanks

This happens to a lot of people. To fix it you'll need to either get wheel spacers, or a different wheel. Most have found that a 16x8 with 4.25-4.5" backspacing works the best to keep the tire away from the arm.

Good luck! Looks awesome!
