Extended front shock hoops contact body

[ROD]

Hello,

I just installed MORE's front shock hoop extensions. Even though they seem solid with the bolts, I may even add a couple of spot welds. The problem is one side is in contact witht he body. It's one of the loops on top for the shock mount.

How much does the body move in that area while offroading? I tried separating the hoop, bending the base of the original shock tower, etc. I have a 1" body lift, I have no idea how people mount this without it.

Should I remove them and try harder to bend stuff out, or forget about it? The contact is light, so the paint on the body in that area might rub off, but it's not like the body is bending in under pressure or anything. I'm just concerned if the body does have a lot of play that the constant rubbing will cause noise/impact/a hole/ whatever.

Thanks,

ROD

Mine do too, as long as you can still get the shock to bolt in alright, I think you are fine. Mine has the 1 inch body lift as well and it helps. I did weld mine to the towers. Be careful not to burn up your vacuum harness while doing this :tomato:

I have the extended shock hoops from more on my jeep too. I don't have a body lift on mine and nothing touches. It is very close though and a real pain in the a$$ to get the upper bolt through.
The fenders do not move enough that I would worry about it.
Like I say mine are very close but have never touched.
