Plastic block removal

[McLeadslinger]

I want to remove the plastic blocks under the felt liners in the front wheel wells. What’s the best way to do this?

I'm curious as to the why.

Need more clearance for suspension articulation

The modified crash bars in that guide are sweet. Does anyone know what tire size (with a level) they could fit without rubbing?

?????

Are you also cutting off the crashbar mounts/horns and trimming the fenders?

Tires will hit there before they hit that plastic block.

My crash bars are removed already when I installed my lift and coilovers.. I’m crawling rocks and other steep terrain so I want as much clearance as I can. Cutting fenders is out of the question. Lol.

I have brand new in the box Fabtech crash bars if you are interested.

Wrong

Wrong

Could be.

But looking at the Ready lift instructions the block seems to be at least 1 ½" behind the crash bar horn. And well behind the edge of the fender.

No need to cut fenders. ASK ME... I KNOW...... NOT SOME ARM CHAIR QUARTER BACKS WE HAVE HERE THAT ONLY CRAWLS THROUGH MALL SPEED BUMPS!! NO rubbing with 295 70 17 -12mm off set wheels. Before I removed the crash bar and blocks I was rubbing well before full lock. Crash bars removed 1st and was hitting the blocks. Hence remove both if you plan on running any tire more than 33's. With a 3.5in lift you may not have to remove the blocks. I wouldn't know as I'm at a 3in in the front.

When I installed my lift I had the liners pulled back and saw the two exposed bolts but not the attachment toward the fender. The block sits higher than the crash bars I removed but does stick out a ways.

I’m speaking from a standpoint of already installing my lift and being in there and not just assuming.

Thanks for posting ?. I too run a -12 offset wheel but run a 33 with a 3.5 lift. You probably already have seen my other posts about it. ??
