So now I got my new wheels, and they rubbed, so I got my fenders rolled and that rub went away, well I have a new rub. It seems my combination of Tenzo springs and Monroe shocks (5870's not made for the XB but another toyota has a shorter body which was said to be ok on the forums here), have eliminated any kind of a bumpstop mechanism for my rear axle.
So now if I have any weight in the rear and I go over a decent size bump my tires hit the top of the fender well bottoming out.
So my question is what serves as the bump stop ,the springs? I noticed that the tenzo springs I have , do not have dead coils like some other brands where could serve as a bumpstop, or is it the shock that serves as the bump stop?

 

Originally there is a bump stop on the shock. Since the shield on the Monroe's is metal I have no idea if it has some or not. But I ran them, and the tires will lay into the fenders long before it sits on any possible bump stop.

 

qrap, so I guess to have any body back there, I will need to put on my stock springs at least, sheesh

 

Yeah, I've got Skunk2 springs and those shocks. with 2 adults, I drag my muffler around on the ground.

 

wonder if there are helper airbags I could put in the springs like they have for trucks, to pump up when I have more weight in the car?

 

Try going up in tire diameter... i.e. run 195/55/15 if you now have 195/50/15.

 

I am running a 205/55/15

 

Damn dude that's crazy. It's hard to belive that those springs drop it so low. Maybe try a different exhaust?

 

Well my exhuast doesn't rub, its the suspension compresses so far in its current state that the wheels bottom out on the top of the fender well

I'm having the same problem. i'm running a 205 50 16 tire and it's way to tall of a tire for me! I'm going to have to get a size or two smaller tire and i'm going to have to camber my wheels. I'm like spider if I have more than one person in the car i drag like crazy.

 

Me too
