- Slightly larger tires on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator can cause minor rubbing of the frame or suspension components when making a full turn. As in, having your steering wheel turned to a full lock. Fortunately, there is a simple fix for it and in this short video, you'll get to see just how easy it is to adjust your steer stops and with nothing more than a 15mm socket and a washer or two.
We hope that you find our Jeep tip to be useful and if you enjoy seeing our Ripley clips, be sure to keep watching till the end!

Don't have a JL or JT, but a JK, and still love watching this stuff and learned something new. Also, let's not gloss over the way he always presents not just the fix, but what is actually going on to cause the issue AND he goes over other options (wheels, spacers) and then shows us a extreme budget solution. Love this shit.
Thank you. We're truly humbled and happy to hear you can appreciate our videos. 😊
I started watching your videos after buying my 2023 jeep JL but I have to say the end had to be my absolute favorite part 😅
LOL - awesome
I don’t know hardly anything about vehicles but man you make this stuff look super easy!
Well, I have been doing this for a very very long time. 😎
I’ve owned Jeeps for over 20 years & never knew this. Spectacular! 👍🏻
Glad we could teach you something new, even if it's just a small thing 👍
It's the simple thing that matters most. Learn something new all the time
Thanks 👍
Awesome! Glad we could be of help 👍
Ripley reminds me of the dog (Chaser?) that could remember lots of toys. These pups are smart. Now on the Jeep fix - So glad you tried the easy cheap fix. So many would by spacers, new wheels, different sway bar,... Another quality video.
Chase and yes, she's that crazy smart! Glad you enjoyed our video 😎

Ruby is smart just like our Bella Boo who is a female Borador. Part Border Colie, part Labrador. They go nuts for water, so can't was a vehicle with her outside lol. Great fix video.
Great video ,just what I need when I first replied to your video I thought you were making the adjustments from the front of tire . Then I see it from the back of the tire . I’ve have done it used 2 washers seems too have helped. Thank you for all the info you give .
Glad it helped
Awesome , your videos 📹 are always great. Loved the ending! 🐕
LOL - Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant!

Nice advice..!!!👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip! So simple!
Glad it was helpful!
@@wayalife indeed
Did the basically the same in 1996 Tacoma to the 96 Tacoma. Although the stops are in different locations. Good fix . So far haven’t had that problem with 2 door 2021 same tires Wrangle Willys edition. Like your videos ! Thanx .
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
I can't get my dog to do anything, so that is an amazing accomplishment from my perspective.
LOL - glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley doing her thing 😎
Love your dog!
LOL - thank you :)
Saludos desde Chile amigos....🇨🇱
Great job training your faithful companion
Thank you. 😎
This is the only channel I have notifications on for. Always awesome when I see the notification 😅 Awesome video! Love seeing pippy. I'm more of a 2 door person 😆
Cindy and I are truly flattered that you would say as much. We're humbled that you would say as much. Thank you.
@@wayalife No problem! Thanks for great videos!
Thanks for the tip. The best solution, though, is to get the correct wheels with the correct offset. I hate the idea of increasing my turn radius and maneuverability. Before installing my front stubby bumper. I found slight rubbing between the bumper filler and the larger 35". Filler removed, problem solved. Thanks for the good tips!
These are factory wheels and so they are the correct offset. Installing aftermarket wheels with different offset or less back spacing will move the steering axis inclination and that will adversely affect your scrub radius. They will also move the wheel center line and that will create more leverage and cause your ball joints and unit bearings to wear out prematurely. Clearly, with 35" tires or bigger, there are sacrifices that need to be made to clear components on your Jeep but that doesn't mean they are "correct".
Good Puppy!!!
Glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)
So cool
Glad you liked our video :)
That was a great tip man. Thanks for that for sure. I like the simple things.....and love the dog.
Awesome! Glad you found our video to be helpful and that you like Ripley too :)
@@wayalife yw. Great channel
You once again provided a fix with a simple solution. This video will probably save people time and money. Thanks for posting. 👍 My wife enjoys your videos but is disappointed when you don’t have a Ripley segment.
LOL - we'll try harder to include Ripley in all our videos 😎
@@wayalife my wife says thank you. 😊
Yay a video! LoL I’ve been hankering for a video 🤣
Glad we could oblige you with a new video.
Thank you for info; love the doggie!!
Awesome and we're glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley 😎
that was quick and easy fix
Yup, that's all there is to it 😎
U r legend bro 🤙
LOL - humbled that you would say as much.
Pippy is one front locker away from being a Rubicon sport. I love how your building her using stock parts but still making her look awesome.
LOL - glad you enjoy what we're doing with Pippi.
Not only will the axle shift but because the front end is lower, the wheel can reach further in at the pivot point of the sway bar arm. Good video!
Glad you enjoyed our video.
Thanks for the pawsome dog content! Ripley is a cutie and very smart..... Oh and jeep content too! Pippy looks good.
LOL - glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley and the Jeep stuff 😁
Beautiful Dog!
Thank you very much!
Tips and tricks!
LOL - glad you liked them :)
Great info on jeep It was great to see how well the dog had your husband trained
LOL - Glad you enjoyed our video and Ripley 😁
Love dogs!
LOL - glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)
6 Inch lift and 40's I think will solve all the problems. Lol!! great videos. Thanks!!
LOL - true, it'd solve the slight rubbing at a full turn but we'd most likely have other issues to deal with 🤪
Oh he's goooooo'ooooood!
Oh man you guys 👍👌🏻👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Love the dog! 👍🤷👍❤️👍🤷👍🤷👍❤️
Thank you.
I think I'm doing this 👍
Awesome! Glad we could be of help to you.
Good tip and good girl
Glad you think so!
Two door, jeep jeep and only in a jeep. Good tip ! (Actually here for the dog)
LOL - works for us and Ripley appreciates it 😁
I went with 35x10.50x17 haven’t had any issues so far, along with rubi suspension and sliders on my sport
Good to hear.
Pretty amazing driving. Either you backed off the 2 dark marks or you nailed it with a side mark. Pretty good stuff on the production side.
LOL - Glad you enjoyed the video and our efforts to make it 😎
Or, go with "pizza cutters" and install LT255/80R-17 (33" x 10.5") tires. I have the Toyo Open Country AT3's on my 2020 Willys on the factory 17" x 7" Moab wheels and they fit perfectly with no rubbing. Love your videos and really enjoy the Pippi series. Just offering info as I build my Jeep along similar lines. Oh, and for those with the automatic transmission, you'll need to have it re-programmed for the taller tires so it shifts properly. And, how smart is Ripley?! Wow! Keep living well, my friend! Pete - KI7LIL
I own a 2021 Willys and would like to follow your install too...
o baby dog já está grande e inteligente!
🐾🐾🐾 sending you my dogs 🤣
LOL - always happy to hear you enjoyed seeing Ripley 😎
@@wayalife I do! Miss you and Cindy even more! Hope all is well!
👍👍
mantaf 👍
Awesome video!
Just wondering if it would rub with the stock sport sway bars? 🧐
With stock tires, you shouldn't have any issues.
Excellent videos Eddie , thanks for doing them!!! Quick question , would you do a 2 in mopar lift on pippy? and why? thanks!!!
I'd prefer not to. From what I have seen, the Mopar lift yields over 3" of actual lift on a 4-door and that means it'd sit even taller on a 2-door. That'd be a bit much for what we're wanting and a lot more would need to be done to keep her riding nice at that height.
@@wayalife thanks for the quick and helpful answer Eddie, please don't stop making videos, they're fantastic
I also think the Nittos could be a bit larger for the same size compared to the KO2s that come on the rubicons. Not all 285/70r17s are the same.
You are correct, not all measure the same and these are a bit bigger. Also, after making this video, we measured both the JL and JK sway bars and found that the JK ones are actually wider at the bend. So, that is a factor as well.
Great video, thank you . I have a 2023 gladiator Mojave that came with Falken 285/70R17 . I would like to put Falken 315/70R17 12.5” wide. Do you think I would be able to install these without doing any other modifications?
Yes, you should be able to on a Mojave.
Howdy Eddie ... so this actually happened to me on my 2000 tj BUT THEY WELDED ANOTHER nut to it instead of having a Washer ..anyway I didn't get charged for taking it out
Oh, you can still add a washer to the bolt on your TJ. We did this way back in the day. 4x4xplor.com/steerstop.html
You are lucky your car is so high I have a lowered coupe and i'm trying to diagnose rubbing. To make it even more difficult it only does it when i'm not moving and holding the brake and turning close to or at full lock. I am not sure if it does it while driving because I would never turn that wide while going any significant speed but also it does not make this noise when I put the car in park and turn lock to lock. Only when holding the brake with some weight load on the suspension i'm assuming is causing this issue to present itself.
Thank you for posting awesome content.
Can I please ask if your front tires rub on the coil bucket when you are at full flex with the sway bar disconnected?
I’ve just fitted the same size to my sport on stock rims.
Thank you.
They do not rub at a full flex.
Great video Sir, I see that yours was rubbing in from the front tires and you made adjustments from the front .Mine is rubbing from the back at full turn. Would their be a stop on the back side?
Steer stop adjustment will do the same thing for that
Did you have to have TPS reprogrammed???
would you still get some rubbing if you had a 1.5 spacer lift?
Probably not.
Do's adding the washer cut down your turning radius, or is it neglible by only a few degrees, thx
With just the one washer, it's negligible.
Do you think Pipi would make it through Deer Valley (not in snow of course) ? I did it 2 years ago in my TJ and U would think the climb up the southern end from Hwy 4 would be a challenge on the smaller tires and no locker.
You know, it's hard to say for sure but I'd be willing to bet she could make it. Might have to give it a try this summer.
@@wayalife 2 doors certainly make the option of lines more plentiful.
Does this need to be done on both sides or just the rubbing side? I’ve always had rubbing in the same location on my Jk only on the passenger side
If you watch to the end of the video, you'll hear me say that IF I had rubbing on the other side, I would have installed a washer there. As in, you just need to adjust for the rubbing side.
hello new here, is two washers a big difference in turning diameter?
No. Just enough to stop the slight rubbing we were seeing in specific situations. Anything more and you would start to see a slight difference in turning.
Two questions: 1) Will this reduce turn radius? 2) Does the same fix work on a JK? Much thanks!
1. with one washer, not enough to matter or even notice. 2. yes.
@@wayalife Took me minutes....I'll have to test it more thoroughly but so far so good!
Wow, smart dog. Border Collie or similar?
Yup, Ripley is a Border Collie. As smart as they come... smarter than some people I've met 😁
Do you think 33" will rub with the stock sway bar?
Depends on the tire and what wheels you're running.
I have seen jl sport owners with no lift put 315 70 on their stock rim which are 7.5 in wide. Is this safe? I’m looking into 305 65 on the stock rims if safe, otherwise I plan on putting these tires on a 8.5 in wide rim with about 5.25 inches of back space / 15 to 20 positive offset. Will both of these combinations rub? Not as an off roader, just as a daily driver?
I think the bigger question is whether or not the tire shop you use will install them. If they do, you should be fine. If not, THEY will say it's because it's unsafe.
Isn’t the turning radius wider now?
Not by enough to make a difference or that I can see or even tell.
Would you not do this on both sides? The wheels are tied together wouldn’t that put a slight strain on something
Shouldn’t the stops both touch at the same time at full lock
Umm, yes, the tie rod connects both sides and that is the exact reason why only ONE steer stop would touch at a full lock. As far as some kind of 'strain' goes, I have no idea what you might be imagining. Sorry.
Is there a lift on this Jeep? And what size tires? I'm going to use my stock Jeep wheels with 305/70r17 tires and add a 2 inch lift. I'm hoping I don't have any rubbing issues and I'll never trust wheel spacers.
No lift on this Sport. We are running 285/70R17 tires.
@@wayalife are you using wheel spacers???
@@Wrangler59 If you watch this video, you will see that the whole point of it is to show how to fix a minor rub WITHOUT wheel spacers.
😄👍
Your video production quality is maybe too good ;) for a tire rubbing video
LOL - glad you enjoyed our video.
