Its not in a turn but when I go over any halfway decent sized bump. I think its hitting the tab that holds the bumper in the wheel well. I already rolled the fenders and am only lowered on swift springs. Any advise here?

I ordered a quick release so I can remove the tab and am about to order some 35 aspect ratio tires. But if someone has words of wisdom i'm all ears.
at +15 you're going to have issues. You want to be around +21 to +30 if you want run 10.5 with moderate camber

Well thats just super... lol. Hopefully removing the bumper tab will solve my issue or doing a combination of that and 35 aspect ratio vs 40. I really don't want to spend the money (now) on a set of coil overs or konis to control the dampen rate.
