The maxlider zone/bds kit modifies the front and rear bump stops, but it will still rub on the front frame at full lock and full compression. So you will still need to cut the frame corner if planning extreme offroad. It might also rub slightly on rear fender plastic at extremes depending on tire and wheel and perhaps on whether you add a track bar relocation bracket.
What offset do you recommend then, -12? or something else
@Mdeamon I second that notion not to come out here until June or July because that's when the snow starts melting off the high country mountains. There are some trails that are doable earlier but they are around the front range and only around the 7000' mark. But if you want the true high mountain essence you've gotta wait a little longer than Feb. I've hit just about every trail out here in Colorado where I live so if you have any questions feel free to hit me up
We do this all the time on our Toyota 4Runners and FJs. We cut the frames around the body mount, called a BMC- body mount chop, to prevent the wheel from rubbing at full lock and compressed, and it works perfectly.
Yep, had it done on my 4Runner too.
Moab in Feb will be snow-free, just cold around 40-50 degrees
Wow, I hope that you don’t have to park in any parking garages.
When I put 33s on the FJ, just adding additional caster at the alignment shop fixed the rubbing at full lock. I didn't need the body mount chop until I went bigger. Since this seems to barely be touching, I wonder if you can add some caster to this too that would cut out any rubbing before a chop is needed.
You are in the minority on this one.
Good question! I did this with my 4Runner with 34s as well.
