Front rubbing..some questions for you lowered guys
I just put my BC's on and notice I'm rubbing when turning on to an uneven surface. Even at slow speeds it rubs. How do you lowered guys get around this? Even adjusting the dampening and the preload seems like it wouldn't be enough to stop this. Do I just need to raise it up and go super slow? I have about 1 finger gap front and back which seems like a popular height...but I'm afraid I'll rip the fender off if I hit an uneven surface when turning at a faster speed. Suggestions?
FYI I'm running 20" ACE Executives on 245/35/20 up front. Offset is +35.

I'm familiar with lowered cars as I've always had them and I drive a pretty low dodge ram. This just seems odd..I'm going to adjust the dampening tomorrow and maybe raise it up a bit. Thanks for the suggestions guys and if anyone else wants to chime in on their bc settings..preload and dampening it'd be much appreciated!

Can you take pictures of how low it is? That'll help us narrow the problem. The 245/35/20 is slightly a bit too large and when you turn you might be rubbing in the front of the wheelwell. My fenders in the front sort of were rolled naturally by going through big dips on the freeway. I have BC's too and I have em fairly stiff, like 23F/22R.

You'll need 245/30/20's. I had the same size as you and changed it up and no more rubbing.
You'll save an inch in total tire diameter/height:
245/35/20 = 26.8 inches, Sidewall = 3.38 inches, Width = 9.65 inches
245/30/20 = 25.8 inches, Sidewall = 2.89 inches, Width = 9.65 inches
