Default Teraflex S/T and 37" tires

Anyone else out there running the S/T System and 37" rubber and having your tire contact the disconnect knob when articulating and turning right?

yeah it is definatly suckin for sure, When I want to go disconnected I have to turn the knob to trail then take out my huge ass 1 1/8" wrench and take the knob off. Then I cant reinstall it until I have cleaned out the threads on the swayber so I have to drive home from the trail disco'd.

Are your tires rubbing anywhere else? Did you phone Joe and ask if others are having issues? I really liked the look of that set up and it was down the want list somewhere.

It was fine with my 35's, and no I do not rub anywhere else just on the knob. I talked to Joe awhile ago and I figured if i lengthened the sway bar links it would rotate the knob up and away a bit, but it didnt move it far enough. It is an awsome setup otherwise

Once I went to the wide 37'sx 13.5, I started to rub my Currie antirock system at full lock, but that was expected, as the Toyo's are really wide.......I thru on my spider trac spacers, and no more rub....plus i like the wider look...

What width tires are you running, and I guess it depends on your backspacing of your wheels too...bumpstops could be issue too.

Joe, I will take some pics tonight of it sitting flat and flex out and rubbing. I will post them in the morning.

Steve, my tires are 12.5 wide and I am running a 4" back spaced 8" wide rim
