    I'm having rubbing issues with these. Not sure if the tires are rubbing the fender well or the UCA. This happens mainly when the wheels/tires are at full turn. It did this before I lifted the truck and still doing this after the lift was installed. I'm running OME 885s (with driver side trim packer), Nitrocharger Sport shocks, LR UCAs, and Dakar Leaf springs. I've been told that it's because the BFGs are such a square shouldered tire. Wheels are Stealth Custom Series 6 17" x 8". What do you recommend I do?

    I checked it out, and it rubs inside of of the mudflaps at full turn. It's the worst and most pronounce when I'm in reverse. I have a local alignment shop that specializes in lifted trucks and they're going to adjust the balljoint setting on the LR UCA's and hopefully get rid of the rubbing.

    I removed the front mudflaps, and rubbing pretty much went away. It does still rub once in a while when i'm in reverse and full lock. Taking it to alignment shop tomorrow to adjust the caster on the LR UCAs. Don't think my tires are rubbing that front fender piece, but if I still have rubbing after tomorrow's alignment, I'll remove it. I'm assuming this has to be dremeled off?

    Nah, just two bolts! I had the same problem when reversing. Removing those solved it

    Take a close look at your mud flaps. You'll see where it's been rubbing

    Removed front mud flaps and also had my alignment guy adjust upper balljoint on the LR UCA's to "D" position giving me a little more positive caster. Rubbing problem solved! Thank you thank you!
