    Thanks Gramps!

    Any recommendation for 700lbs 14" springs? Icon, Eibach, etc?

    I would have to agree with this. People are running my same setup with different rims and they have rubbing issues. Using stock 4runner TRD pro rims, the offset is perfect and I have 0 rubbing.

    My understanding is that ICON does make a 700lb spring but it is still 13". Both KING and Eibach make a 14" 700lb. spring. I just got done putting the Eibach one's on mine and I couldn't be happier. I will send you a pm that might help as well.

    Got my alignment done, now I'm rubbing when I turn and backup. Going to take @Gramps advice and upgrade my springs.

    "Alignment done" really doesn't mean anything. Figure out where you're rubbing and in what scenarios, then post your current alignment specs. All it may need is a small change to be out of OEM specs to eliminate your problems.

    I have a stage 6 with the icon tubular UCA, same wheels and 285/70-17 Duratracs...same rubbing issue. I can prob come up about 1/2 - 1 inch in the front, which might solve some rubbing, but prob not all of it. I hear a body lift is a pain in the ass....would love to hear if that's true.

    Alignment was out of wack due to last few wheeling trips, so went in to have it straightened back out. Haven't ever had rubbing when backing up before, so this is new.

    Their printer was STILL broken, so no printout, but I grabbed an image of it. Don't know much about alignment, but here's what they gave me...

    My guess is the bigger spring will help, but not eliminate. I'll still need to do some cutting. At least raising it a bit more will reduce the amount needed.

    Another thing I saw someone do was add a 1/4" spacer to their bumpstops. It limited up travel just a hair, and eliminates rubbing for them. They had wheelers super bumps, so I'm not sure it'll work with stock ones.
