Rubbing with 3" pro comp lift kit

@PSU taco85: Im pretty sure the guy at 4wheelparts did install it correctly because it seems to be working but i hate it and Im taking it in today to get it remove and maybe install some spacers and trim a little more... thanks for the help!

 

Also, new UCA's and realignment change the geometry a bit. I went from rubbing hard on the cab mount to rubbing up front instead, possibly because we pushed the caster as far forward as possible.

As for trimming... I got rid of all the black plastic to about halfway up the front side of the fender. Also makes it easier to change the fog light bulbs

best pic I can find for example.,...

 

@Brian: I guess I'll trim mine too, to about the same thing as you did... but i had a little bit of my inside bumper trimmed as well. Im guessing you didnt get that trim?

 

Ive got the 3" pro comp, and 285/70/17 KM2, fuel hostage with 4.5" BS. only had to trim a small amount of plastic, doesnt come close to the body mount at all

 

have you driven it up hills and down hills with curvy roads yet? thats the only time the rubbing occurs with my truck...

 

yeah, i have put 300 miles on it, and removed my sway bar, went through ditches, done it all. and doesn't rub. My old truck with 5100 set up only rubbed when backing up and turning, and my new truck (with procomp) doesnt then either

 

sorry to thread jack but I was wondering if 285s would fit on a stock trd rear end without any issues? I just wanted to do the 3" spacer in the front

 

That would be one serious bro lean; not a fan of that, personally...

But, thats neither here nor there. what size 285 did you mean; 285/75 R16 or 285/70R16?

 

im looking to get a 32" or 33" x 20 tire. I didnt think the lean would be too much because of the current stink bug look.

 

got my steering stops finally removed and was suggested that i should get new tires with E load range next time...I got D on the ones i got on atm.
They told me it doesnt make any sense, theyve done many tacomas 05 and up with no big rubbing issues like mine ever... Im clueless too, we got the truck up on the lift and see where its rubbing and theres a good 3 inch from the tire and the rubbing as pictured.

is there anything else i can do?

 

Did you ask why "E" load rating. I'm running a "C" load rating right now and that is stiffer than the stock tires.

 

Around the same.

 

the guy said that E load will be a stiffer tire causing it not to flex as much a D load....

 

It will still rub! The extra flex is only at the bottom, between the ground and the rim!

 

ya, thats what i thought... i just dont understand why its rubbing!!! and why does it have to be mine!!! LOL

 

the fender plastic is not a problem now its the damn rubbing from the inside...
anyways what do you mean "beat back the pinch weld"... I'm a newbie to this stuff...

 

Something's weird.

You need to get together with some other Tacoma guys at a mod day or something so you can measure and compare and see what's up.

My suspicion is wheels with less backspacing than expected for their width. But that's just a guess.

 

yea, looks like it... the wheels I have on actually has backspacing of 4.75 inches i found out... not 4.5

 

just thought everyone should know... went back in and they said procomp had a few tacoma with this problem... so, they gave me 2 options, go the 6 inch lift for $900 or back to stock and get my money back... i got my full refund back on all the parts including labor! they werent happy...LoL
