Default wheel scraping
What could cause my right rear wheel to scrape on the shock and fenderwell when turning left and launching?
I ran an 8.9 with a 2.0 60 tonight if that tells you how much it's slowing me down.

I was running the tires at 15psi, I have an eibach pro kit with 315 bfg dr's on it. It only rubs on the right side though, I see where it's rubbing, I just dont know how to fix it

Do you still have your anti-sway bar conneted? Maybe you have a blown shock.
