    A body lift would help rubbing on the outside (like Patrick has), but I can't see where it would help the rubbing on the inside without the spacers.

    I bought my Jeep with 33's at stock height. The tires were binding up inside the rear wheel wells somethin' fierce. After a lift, the problem has diminished. (Granted I put a 4" suspension and 1" body) Now I need longer shocks.

    I think that getting the body further away from the tires is the key.

    Well sure..along with a 4" suspension lift...kinda like eating Wheaties (along with regular workouts and a balanced diet) will help you lose weight...:D

    I know where I rub on the inside rear - a 1" BL would just move the rub point down on the wheelwell 1"...and on the front it's the springs I rub on, where a BL isn't going to help.
