33's scraping worse after wheel spacers

I have 33's on a 3 inch lift and they scraped a little, not bad, I added wheel spacers hoping to fix the problem but it made it significantly worse. Will a 1" body lift fix my problem? Also can I only do the body lift in the front?

 

When you add spacers you make the distance the tire "swings" inside the wheel well farther. Imagine a pendulum and adding an inch to that, its going to swing farther with that inch longer shaft. That is why you're rubbing more.

Why did you add the spacers?

 

keep trimming.

why would you only lift the cab?

 

Aha. See I was asking this before and no one confirmed my suspicion that this would happen. At first I thought adding spacers would help But the more I thought about it I realized itd probably make it worse like you explained. But, I actually NEED spacers regardless. Right now they're just the 1/4 inch spacer washers. In hoping it won't be too much worse with The thinnest bolt ons I can get. The only problem I have is the punch weld and no other scraping anywhere. And I've already bashed in the punch weld area more than I'd liked. Ha. So I guess we'll see what happens.

 

I added a 1in body to my 3in suspension and barely touch the frame , so in my opinion I would add a 1in body

 

added spacers because of the nature of coil over lifts and ifs suspension makes the front skinnier, it was for cosmetic purposes , I would only lift the front because the back is a hair higher all ready and I am happy with the way it looks, don't want to change the back

 

Try a top plate spacer it may not add much lift but it will level the front end

 

What size wheel and backspacing? Pushing the tire out helps but only to a certain point.
