I dropped the front of my truck with 2'' spindles last week to complete mt 4/5 drop on my 82. I am experiencing tire rub in the top if the front wheel tubs when i go around corners. Should i insert shortened spring rubbers or put a sway bar in??

i really dont want to go with a smaller tire. and i dont want to take out the inner fender cus this is my daily driver. im just looking for a way to stiffen it up a bit.

I was having the same problem. I bought some rubber spacers form Pep
Boys, shaved em down and installed em. It just raised my ride a bit.
I run 205/75/15's and the outer fender lip is 2 fingers from the top
of the tire. That's pretty low and I don't scape anymore unless I hit
a bad dip. Good enough for me. I only put one on the r/l sides on
the outside of the coil facing the spindle...works for me..$6.00
well spendt...still on stock length gas shocks :)
