I am running a 1" spacer from Maximum Motorsports. I did not have to flip the quad shock. I did have to adjust the right side tail pipe for clearance. No rubbing at all. As far as the balance goes, Weldcraft widens the wheels on a wheel lathe. There was and is no problem with the balancing. I hope that answers all your questions. I am happy with the results
My setup is this:
* M&M
Panhard bar (a
MUST, IMO to insure that you never rub, otherwise your axle can laterally move over an inch in either direction)
* 1.5" M&M wheel spacers
* no tail pipes (use dumps)
* eliminated quad shocks
* did NOT have to roll the fenderwell lips
There is about 1/2" between the inner fender well and the tire- not much, but I have encountered NO rubbing in the 2 years I have had this done. (with some pretty wicked corner carving done, too
) The key here is to do this with a pan hard bar, otherwise, your probably going to rub at some point.
One neat little trick I do recommend trying to see if you will rub is this: take your wheel off and rub a small, thin layer of grease on the inner fenderwell (at any place where the sidewall of the tire might rub while the
suspension is under load.) Next, put the wheel back on and give er' hell (do anything that will make the
suspension work itself.) Come home, take the wheel off and inspect the sidewall for grease/signs of rubbing. No grease? Your good to go. If you have signs of grease, your going to need to do something- better order that
panhard bar
I did have a very small spot on my drivers side where it touched (no damage, of course, just a small grease spot/line about 3" where the tire at some point came in contact with the fenderwell.) All i did was adjust the
panhard bar to move my entire axle assembly over to the right by about 1/4". Cleaned the grease up, put the wheel back on and tried it again (went out corner carving.) This time no grease on either tire.
* note that I said a SMALL amount of grease. No need to get crazy here with the grease. Even a small miniscule amount with get transferred noticeable to your sidewall of the tire. Don't put so much on that it becomes a safety hazard
