And if so, what offset are your wheels?

Crash bars weren’t my issue, I was rubbing the sway bar. Toyo AT3 on Black Diamond Steelies. Only on full lock passenger side turning right on compression. Very weird.

I took the crash bars out anyhow. Them shits are heavy.

Badlands take-offs i have, 32.8", no rubbing at all. Those are 285/70R17 on 17x8, 55 offset Ford wheels. If you're wanting 33.9" tires, thats something else altogether . . .

I have 285/75 R17 Toyo AT3s with +30 offset RTR wheels. Crash bars are still on, plenty of clearance. I did try to take them off anyway but those things are on there good so i gave up. I also have a 2" lift.

Went with the Bilstein 5100s shocks. Didn’t want spacers and I’m not doing any serious off roading so don’t really need more expensive coilovers. Got 4k miles on them no complaints so far.

Your build looks great! Are the 5100s take offs from a non-sas Badlands? Do you have any straight on pics that show the poke? Thanks!

No they’re not the badlands coilovers. They’re Bilstein 5100 aftermarket shocks. Replaces the stock shock but reuses the spring, adds 1”-3” of lift depending what you want. Better than the stock coilovers but still a cheaper option. If I was going to do any real off-roading I’d go with a more expensive coilovers setup.
