Ok guys in the middle of 5-lug conversion. My rear tires are rubbing quad shocks. I have aftermarket kyb's so flipping them will do no good. Not really enough lug nut for a spacer. I dont have my old quads either. What should i do? I dont have alot of time to do something. BTW my tires are only 245/45's and they rub.......that wasnt supposed to happen. Ranger axles......HELP!!!

Then just remove them, thats what I did. I had the same quads too.

If you have good aftermarket LCAs you don't need quads.

turned out all i needed to do was flip them afterall. I didnt think it would do any good seeing they were bigger than stock already. But it worked. Have about 1/4-1/2 inch clearance on both sides! No LCA's yet so i didnt wanna chance takin them off.
