ok so i added the 31's yesterday. i am now rubbing on my front sway bar when backing out of parking spaces,turning around etc. im am unshure on if should remove the swaybars. its a 2door and its alot more top heavy then my 89 ext cab ranger; i dont take turns fast in it beacuse of that. do you think its safe to ditch the sway bars? if not how can i cure my rubbing issue without going to diffrent wheels,or wheel spacers?

are you 100% positive there rubbing on the sway bars? You may have different back spacing but My 31s only rub on the splash shields near the firewall and that an easy fix that I just havent finished yet

The 31 bfg long trails on my 91 rubbed at first on the front inner fender by the firewall and sway bar. I removed the sway bars and drilled a hole in the inner fender (at the bottom were it bends flat) and zip tied it back to the body mount bolt. Worked great. Be careful driving with no SB I almost rolled my explorer racing my friends jeep one night on a blind hill.
