Ok here is the deal.. I installed rear wheel spacers 1-1/2 and the wheel started rubbing everytime I hit a bump, it would seem like it bottoms out. So much that it is shaving rubber from my tire.

So as a quick fix I ran to the Autozone and picked up 2 rear shocks. It's still doing it,but not as much. Thinking of rolling the inside fender sheet metal and buying some KYB adjustables to set them on firm.

Maybe my fat ass should hit gym again, I did gain 15 lbs.

You think thats bad .... try putting 2 people in the back & see what it does. You should have rolled the inner fender & forgot about the shocks. That will solve your problem. Roll them in about an inch or so .... at the top center at least. Use a rubber mallet. If you accidentally chip the coating .... just get some underbody coating, or even black spray paint will tackle it.
