I don't want to read this entire thread to find out what happened.

Did Tommy Guns rim job work out?

Yes or no.

Yes or no.

They are on the car at the moment and I have much greater traction now.

Cool.

My tires spin real easy now.

I found that most of the rub on the bumpstop bracket is when jacking up the car.

Also when I roll over a speed bump w/ some momentum and have the shocks set on soft.

Also only the drivers side rubs over the speed bump, even though the rear is centered because of the way the suspension moves.

This is the drivers side before I modded it a bit...

I smoothed out the corner 'in case' it rubs again.

I also reset my struts/shocks to 2.5 turns like I usually have them.

I can see through the rim to this bracket, so it is easy to keep an eye on to see when and if I get any more rubbing.

Thanks for the update TG. I typically don't like spacers, but a tiny 1/8" spacer may work here as long as it doesn't make the tire stick out of the fenderwell or create a rubbing issue on the other side.

Did you paint over the bare metal?
