Yeah the fender rubing theory gives me a great excuse to ad a coil spacer or body lift.

Not really a theory I don't think...

I quite enjoy the idea of the trail rated driveway...might post a problem for deliveries though.

So i took the Jeep out to the gravel pile in my driveway.... and tried my best to make my fenders rub and i was successful!

It takes full flex to just touch a plastic moulding inside the fender..with a little shave it shouldn't touch at all... and i measured my springs and i am getting exactly 3 inches of lift out of this kit.

So i am thinking i want to add a 1 inch coilspacer ontop the springs anyway...Can i get away with out replacing the control arms or having to add a drop pitman arm or anything else? Or is just less bs to do a bl instead?

yes but that won't solve your problem.  what lift did you go with? did it come with extended bumpstops?  my guess is no. if this is the case, then coil spacers will do nothing to stop the rubbing as the tire will still be able to flex upwards cause contact will be the same (axle on the bumpstop.  a body lift or lowered bumpstops will solve your problem. suspension lift won't...........

I've got better than 30K on my KM's, and they probably have two or three chunks like that one. Snow, ice, gravel, rocks, mud, roots...all of it.

I'm with the crowd saying "fender rub"...especially since you can duplicate it in your driveway.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
