Which is why I tried to leave as much there as possible, not ground flat.
Seems to work fine and w/ a 3/4" spacer should be no trouble at all.  I am
planning to swap to IFS calipers and FJ40 vented rotors shortly, so I'll bea
ble to tell then (I also have my AllPro wheel spacers ready to install at that
time).

In anyone is running that setup (solid axle, w/ 4-cyl IFS calibers) could pull
off a front wheel and do the check illustrated in:

and let me know if there is interference, I'd appreciate it.
