    Yo peeps!!

    I just want to ask...what else to do to prevent the tires from hitting the undersides of my ride? I just got my 32x11.5 R15 B/S M/T's. At stock height, the tires were hitting the bumpers and fender/mud guards at cornering. I got this fixed. I adjusted the torsion bars. (thanks to sir kim!) Cornering at flat pavements are ok now. So my problem now is how to do I fix this problem of tires hitting again at non-flat pavements? say, climbing a steep slope then taking a turn immediately (like last time at Tanay Changing the bumpers to TJM steel bumpers is the first part (to avoid the hitting of the bumper) now how do I take of the hitting of the mudguards? Thanks to you all!

    siguro a minor trimming of the bumper will do and/or remove your mud guards.

    Switch back to 31 inch tires and sell those tires, hehehe. :D

    Then buy yourself a good snorkel and drop-in air filters.

    Shave the bumpers na lang. Mud guards? Ano yun? hehehe. Tagal na ko wala nun, eh.

    Baka kelangan mo ng wheels na iba ang offset.

    kimpoy,
    halos sinagad na ung t-bar...not really sure kung ilan ang tinaas. basta just enough para di na tumama sa normal cornering. : )

    ungas,
    seriously I love my tires na. angas talaga! asa pa na ibebenta ko na ito!

    otep,
    I can't go any wider...i think..kasi ito pa lang nga sayad na.

    rod,
    baka nga body lift would. pero parang matagal pa siguro before ko gagawin yun!

    Just my 2 cents worth, be carefull about cranking the torsion bars it can cause severe CV joint angles and ruin the inner or outer CV joints of the vehicle as well as constant replacement of the CV joint booth. I speak from experience............

    yup, premature wear ang mangyayari sa CVs nyo. kaya nga di ko pa rin mai-lift yung MU e.

    body lift with bigger tire combo na lang siguro para mataas ng konti yung clearance.

    Kung nasa 1.5" - 2" lang naman, no need to worry about premature CV joint and boot wear. May iba kasing sobrang sagad ang crank, eh.

    how do you know kung nasa 1.5"-2" range ang itinaas? Kasi ang ginawa lang ay itinaas sya just enough para di na sumayad...I forgot to mention kasi na wag sumobra dun...just to add...kinaya panaman ng shox...siguro sa tingin ko...di naman sumobra sa limits niya total OEM palang gamit k..
