When I replaced my axle shafts, I had the same problem; I had to put some washers and adjust the steering stops.  Since I had 31's at the time, there was no rubbing on the frame, but the yokes would make contact.

This is interesting.  What brand shafts did you install?

Thanks

They probably all come from the same place anyway!  :lol2:

I'll just adjust a bit more and check for rubbing.  Thanks

No problem.   After what jfrabat posted it makes more sense.

sound like you can take some material off to get more clearance but from the ears side, little bit there would probably give you back the difference so you don't have to add more shims under the stop.

That would be the best solution. Might get around to it sooner or later. Maybe some 35s would solve the problem  :pot:
