    With your rims and the spacers your gonna hit the top of the fender on the front for sure. I scrape it about a 1/4". I have it trimmed so rub is so little i cant even hear it.

    Oh I hit the top of the fenders when full stuffed anyway. I've seen the rubbing on the plastic after jumping and doing other stupid shit.

    Maybe it was catching the UCA?

    Not sure. Never heard it before until recently. I kind of suspected it was finding something on the bumper due to the metallic noise but I could not find a single mark on the metal. No clue, honestly.

    When I was looking over everything for the source of my pops/clunks I noticed the tips of my UCAs have rubbing marks on them, I think my tires are catching them at times. Might have to look into some spacers myself if the LR UCAs don't solve that issue

    It's not the uppers arms rubbing anything or the bumper. It was either the tie rod, ball joint, or coil over. Changing to wheel spacers changed your scrub radius which changed how the wheels were leveraging your suspension. This conditions caused the clunk to stop

    Marie sure gets them out fast... @HeadStrong Off-Road I think they carry some that are compatible with a 1st gen? I personally liked the 1.25" as they fit over the factory lugs and have a whole new stud for your tire to mount to. No short-threaded-lugs ynkow?

    @digitaLbraVo my truck makes that sound from time to time too. Still can't pinpoint exactly what it is either, but tie rods might be the culprit.

    I rub my inner fender but I rubbed a bolt nut clip from a bracket. Vibrated the bracket and made a metal rattle because it vibrated my puke tank holder.

    Mine are fairly new I wonder why it started recently. I had mine swapped out when my shock was rebuilt 'cause one was right proper fuckered already. Maybe 10-15,000mi ago?

    I saw that, but if everything goes right my truck will be tore down and I'll be rebuilding the rear. But I definetly need to get out on a run with you.
