    Default JKS blowing tyres......

    Hi guys,

    Went 4wdig yesterday with some friends yesterday...... One JK unltd with 2inch spring lift, JKS discos blew two front passenger side tyres in a matter of 10 minutes. Both blowouts happened on full flex, trying to turn hard right. We were too busy to take any pics of the thingy but we realised that if we try to turn right at full flex with sway bar disconnected and pushed to the highest spot the passenger side JK tyre will make contact with the upper swaybar pin. He was running factory tyres with paperthin sidewalls, that made the things worse.

    I tried to simulate the same on my Jeep and the sway bar pin almost came in contact wih my tyre as well. I am thinking on extending the bumpstops by 2 inches to stop the tyre going up that high. Has it happened to anyone else here...... Any suggestions

    Also can some one guide me how to make cheap bumpstop extensions......

    In the mean time guys running similiar setup be careful if u encounter a similiar situation........

    Cheers

    Mani
