tire rub
The way I fixed mine was, if you look at the steering knuckle or spindle, right where the spindle hits the axle at stop, there is a whole. There was in mine. I tapped that hole and threaded a bolt into it so the bolt head would hit instead of the spindle. When I had the 35's on it, all I needed was the thickness of the bolt head to keep the tires off the radius arms. But I had to put washers under the bolt head when I went to the 39's. Turn radius is smaller, but not much and very managable. Hope this helps. Good luck.
