Has anybody used The Rod Shop chassis strengthener kit?
Wondering if there is an issue with it effecting the rear wheel?
Thanks in advance!

The rodshop chassis kit does not go anywhere near the rear wheel. The rear end bolts to the diff lower control arm mount on the body.

I meant the front not the rear. How it comes up into the wheel arch

I cut a corner off my Rod Shop kit inside the front wheel arch for clearance, although the wheel cleared before cutting it was less than 10mm

Same on the LJ kits. It looks like the square tube might be a problem but with the biggest wheel and tyre I can fit inside the guard there is still plenty of clearance to the kit.
