Took the JT to Rausch Creek last weekend and my tires got into my AAL inner fenders a bit. They also made light contact with my front bumper. I don't plan on keeping the bumper forever and I have no problems just cutting a 1/2" off the ends.

I am new to most of this but what I think is going on is that my tires are just a bit to large for my lift/wheel offset combo. I think that my long term solution would be to replace my wheels with different off set and that will take care of the problem. That is not in my wallets comfortable ability at this time.

So what is my next best option? I'm thinking of adding one more 1/2" bump stop puck up front for now. I have 3 1" pucks stacked now. Is that the best solution for my issue?

What is your lift and tire size?
Seems like you need just a bit more lift or a bit more bump stop.

Great video! Didnā€™t engage front locker? Shows off the brake/traction control system very well.

I am running the Rock Krawler 3" Pro X with Milestar P 38x13.5. RK recommends 3" bumpstop with 4.5" of back spacing. I am not truly sure what my American Outlaw Hollywood's back spacing is. I bet not 4.5":crying:

I was on a guided trail ride with Off Road Consulting. They wanted me to get more experience with how the traction control works. Lockers only if needed. I was very pleased at how my truck did other than laying rubber on my inner fenders. The ORC guide was also extremely helpful.

If you had 38x12.5 youā€™d probably have been okay. That extra width is probably it, along with backspacing.

I wish they made a 38ā€,39ā€,40ā€ x 12.5ā€
A big-ish pizza cutter.

Iā€™d be curious your backspacing, for sure.
