    Just noticed you never mentioned your tire size and what wheels you're running, and the specs on those wheels.

    Yeah , the goofball at the dealer said he can trim them to get rid of the rubbing, so I said go ahead and do it. He trimmed everything but where it was rubbing,, lmfao

    Aha, he doesn't know what he's talking about. I guarantee you you're rubbing on the mud flaps, and the part you're rubbing on can't be trimmed. Remove those and the mini mud flaps in front of the tires, and you should stop rubbing.

    Calm your tits :boink:

    He's saying if your lower adjustments aren't already maxed out on caster you can take away caster at the UPPER and raise it at the LOWER to gain more clearance. This is only if your lowers aren't already maxed out.

    Actually if you starting using the LR's for 3+ degrees of caster your actually moving the wheel towards the cab mount. You need all the caster you can out of the lowers past 2 degrees up top.

    It cost me 130 dollars for the alignment which basically accomplished nothing as to getting the tire more forward. It probably made it worse.. anyone want to.buy a nice set of rims and new tires ? I'm putting the factory stuff back on lol

    Start a BST thread

    If you want some good info on how to adjust the LR UCAs read the OP of that thread

    and your wheel specs are causing the rub not the tire size

    The TRD beadlock wheels have a different backspace than the stock Offroad alloys correct ?

    FYI you can run 265/75/16 tires on stock wheels at stock height with no rub

    Good luck with your issue OP

    They do but from the same experience 2yrs ago. I ran billies at 1.75 on offroad springs and never rubbed a thing wheeling( on the trd fake beads w 265/75's). Untrimmed. Every truck is different.
