i'm driving a D1 with ome HD lift and 235x85's and i've had to replace the steering stop bolts about 3 times because they bend. i finally got some going for a while and sure enough my girlfriend gets behind the wheel and slams that sucker too far and they're bent again. bad too it going to take a while to get them off this time. without them im scared parking cause that rubbing noise hurts my soul. any suggestions? what do you guys use

:-)Damn, Popeye, ease up on that steering wheel ! Seriously, I've got the same size tires on my OME HD D1 with no problems once adjusted after tire installation. Hadn't heard of them getting bent up. Is this common?

I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that the steering stop bolts were bent at an angle in the first place.

if you're cranking the wheel hard enough to bend those bolts, your power steering pump & box must just love you :-)
