Need help with 2wd front ASAP please!!!!!!!
I just finished putting some new tires and rims on the old 92' and they are rubbing the front fenders bad. I couldnt even get out of the subdivision. They rub when I turn and they rub when I brake, even light braking.
I have to leave at 5AM out of town so I need to get the front end up ASAP. There has to be some air shocks that fit the front mounts, anyone know of any? I am short on time and heavy on cash so screw price, I just want the front up for now.
Thanks.

The new wheels are MB Preditors 18", tires are 275/70/18 Continental. Only like 1.2" taller than stock but the wider rims are killing it right now.

what are spring rubbers? I have tried the rubber pads you put between coils and even the metal ones you twist into place but not enough space between coils to get them in.

Even with the suspension at full droop you can't cram a spring rubber in there?

I went to the auto parts and there are 2 air shocks that have the same mounts and lengths, but I dont know if they will fit in the coil especialy if the air valve will fit in the coil. I'm at a loss now. Dont know what else to do. The HD springs would take probibly hours to install and I gotta get sleep.
Ya win some ya loose some, I lost this one. lol

only way to raise it good would be daystar coil spring spacers.

I put some Moog 7226S springs in yesterday. They seem to be doing the trick. If they sag any though I am back to rubbing the fenders. Then I'll get the daystar spacers.

i run 235/75/16 good years and got the moog super heavy duty springs and forgot bout the spring rubers when i put it all together cause i needed the welder and i havent hit the fender yet.but i think i may get the daystar spacers just to be safe also.
