Adjust the wheel stop maybe.
Never blame the beer. It's only there to lend a hand.
What wheels are you running and what is the backspacing? Short of spacer or new wheels, you will prob have to adjust the steering stops. Its really simple, to do. Its a small bolt that screws into the knuckle at the front bottom. At full lock it contacts the inner C of the axle. Just back them out and tighten the lock nut.

The lock nuts are welded in place on tj's. Its no big deal, I just put a lock washer or two behind the jam nut.Originally Posted by notmYJ

My 33's rub like a sumbitch on my XJ. I turn it until it rubs, then back off 1/4 turn. Kind of like how I tighten things until they strip.
Im just going to adjust the stops, then come winter when I get 33s, I'll get new wheels and flares. These tires are only on to let me cheaply pass inspection THanks for all of the help
WJ lower control arms have a bend in them to clear tires during turns. Dunno if you can find any of those. Other than that, steering stops (lose turning radius), wheel spacers ($$), or aftermarket backspaced wheels ($$) will work. I had the same problem and I just learned to not turn fully until I got my wheels.

ok, I have washers, went to put them on and the bolt wont budge. I tried jacking it up to take off the tire to give more room, and my jack wont even touch the Jeep... O well, I'll just watch my steering lol
Use the stock bottle jack (under the passenger seat) under each side of the axle. It will get it off the ground. Spray the bolts down with PB as well, highly helpful if you do it a few times a day or two before you go to break loose said bolt.

They can be rust-welded on and need some muscle to turn. An impact would get em off for sure. My steering stops came off relatively easy though when I did this on my TJ.

honestly tried that, it wouldn't even touch the axle. And it is the stock bottle jack. it will hit the diff but won't that only lift one side on the front?
I have 32's and my stock bottle jack can still lift the tires a good 4" or so off the ground using the axle tubes.
If it's a stock TJ jack, I assure you it will. Black, has a slightly cupped top, yellow knob on the base? A OE TJ jack will get a TJ with 37's off the ground. I've used mine on my TJ on 35's. We just used my jack at the SHBC cruise to get the Toyota with the slashed 35 in the air. Mind you, it's a 2 stage jack, so you may not realize that it goes further than it does, think telescopic antenna. It also may be bound going from stage 1 to stage 2. Turn it harder

so your saying i shouldnt have gotten mad and thrown it off a hillside? it got to double its size and stopped turning. I guess i still have some anger issues and get to climb a hill tomorrowIf it's a stock TJ jack, I assure you it will. Black, has a slightly cupped top, yellow knob on the base?

Do you really have to take the tire off to adjust the stops? You could get to it with a 1/2" socket wrench with an extension.
my tool supply is pretty low, so all i have are wrenches, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
Look at it this way, at least you can go back and get it now. It REALLY sucks to be on the middle of the turnpike at 3 in the morning with a blown trailer tire and no jack, or so I've heard...
It should well over double it's size, actually right around 3 times. You'll see the first post come up, then the other will start to engage. Seriously, it's a jack, keep turning it.
