Default Teraflex Quick disco's rubbing with new wheels

Hey all,


I just recently moved up from running 33's on stock wheels with spacers to 35's on wheels with a 4.75" backspace. I went wheeling on the weekend and noticed that my tires are rubbing on the bolt where the swaybars connect when disconnected.


What are you guys doing to solve this problem? Remove the bolt and just zip tie my swaybar when disconnected? or is the solution upgrade to JKS disco's? or is there another solution out there? I know I could move up to a Currie Antirock or something like that but my next mod is new gears so dont want to spend a tonne of money right now.


Thanks,

common problem and if you aren't careful, will blow out a sidewall. the solution is to remove the storage pins. when disconnected, make sure that your sway bar is sitting horizontal (parallel to the frame rail) and then bungie cord or zip tie it in place.

Could it be that your back spacing is contributing to the problem as well. 4.75 bs is really borderline of what I would run with 35" tires and no spacer

They are the Pro Comp 7036 4.75" backspacing with a negative -6mm offset


Looks like I will just remove the bolt and zip tie or bungie them up.

Really sounds like to me you need more back spacing, I would double check but wouldn't be surprised if you were rubbing elsewhere on full flex
