    3 inch lift, 1.5 wheel spacers
    I recently installed 3 inch lift, 1.5 lug centric spacers, and 285/75r16 Radar renegade mudterrain tires. My truck has a slight shake at the beginning of taking off and at the end of coming to a stop. It also wobbles(I'm pretty sure its from the spacers). My tires were rubbing on the mudflaps so I removed them and now they are ok, but only rub when I hit a bump while turning. I have stock rims on right now and I am thinking of getting new ones. What can I do to remove the vibrations and rubbing?

    Take off shudder is from driveshaft angles after the lift.
    If there is a wobble then it could be the spacers not being hub centric, could also be a tire issue. Take off the spacers, if the issue persists look into the tire being out of round/defective

    Do you put on aftermarket UCA's and get it aligned afterwards? If so post up your alignment specs.

    Correction. I have a leveling kit (ordered from Amazon). And I still have stock UCAs. I did get an alignment

    I'm not sure if caster if adjustable on these trucks or not but most vehicles do not offer a caster adjustment. Caster will not wear tires, it will only cause a pull and those numbers wont cause a pull. Alignment looks good.

    .1 and .2 * of caster is HORRIBLE. A good caster number is 2-3*


    .1 and .2 is WAY out of spec.


    Caster camber and toe are all adjustable on these trucks.
