Default Question for those of you with Autopower cages

im about to install my 4pt. i just got and my question is did you have to raise your cars back up because of the mounting bracket and goes in the wheel well??? meaning its a flat bracket so it doesnt mesh with the bay... so do your tires rub at all? sorry if the question is typed out clear but i think you know what i mean... TIA

No it can't rub. Too many other suspension components will bottom out before you get the wheel up that high. Wait, how much are you lowered? There's always some idiot out there dropped 2+ inches thinking that it improves handling.

You have to take the rear wheels off to get that plate in there.

I don't know what you mean by "mesh with the bay". What bay?

To answer your question yes, it will form to the wheel well, when you tighten everything up.


Just make sure you put the head of the bolt on the wheel side, and the nut on the inside of the car, That way the majority of the bolt will be inside the car, and you won't have to worry with rubbing issues, or cutting a tire.
