14" and liftkit scrubing noise!

Ive got a 2 inch lift kit and scorpian 14" rims and the 27" tyres that i just got S/H.

I'm finding the front scrub a bit when braking hard but I can't see where they would be hitting. Any advice i'm guessing i need to trim the guards but where.

Hey
I has to trim mine down the back side closest to the front doors a fair bit as well as the the front. I also used a BFH and pushed the whole guard edge back up. The rears also needed the BFH treatment because they scrubbed under full compression. All I did there was use the fork at work lifted up the ass and belted with a 5 pond sledge to make fit nice.
Cheers

like ^he said, thats what we all do to fit big tyres - BFH solution!

look for the shiny bits of metal ( where the tyre has polished it ), and hit them with a hammer

removed the big bolts holding the mud flaps in and pushed metalwork all back a bit and then used a flatter screw to connect and presto its all gone.
