@72bluNblu I may have missed it but did you use the US Cartool inner fender braces? I know you used the J-bars but just curious as to any interference there is with big wheels and tires with the inner fender brace.
I didn’t use the USCT inner fender braces on my Duster. The J bars in the engine compartment are tied into the tops of the shock mounts.
I did install the USCT inner fender braces on my Dart, but I wasn’t planning on running 275’s on that car.
I don’t think there’d be a big interference issue with them though. It’s a little tough to explain, at full compression and at steering lock the tire is basically right at the inner fender sheet metal at the very top of the tire, and if you draw a horizontal line right through the middle of the spindle stub the widest diameter is basically on the frame rail. So, the inner fender brace should be in the corner.
But I did see a picture on here recently where someone had notched the USCT brace in the middle. But there wasn’t much explanation with it, so, I dunno. I’ll see if I can find it again
