Tires rubbing need advice

Well u put springs with a high spring rate and that are taller on your what 8 year old shocks. That wears the shocks out faster, also how many miles are on your truck? Normally around 100k it's time to get ready for lbj's

 

I had all stock suspension on about 90K mile truck with one size bigger tire (max size for stock tacoma) when that happened. I still have the stock LBJ. I think its def time to get those swapped out as well.

 

Well I wanna say the suggested interval on shocks is about 50-60k so getting upset bc your suspension parts are worn out doesn't make much sense

 

Could also do a cab mount chop.

 

Yea.... thanks

 

It makes sense when your suspension squeaks 2 days after you installed it yeah.

 

I too rub, but I also think I'm running way bigger than stock with no lift...time to try some of these tips.

 

A lift will not stop the tires from rubbing since it does not change the path of the suspension as it cycles or the size of the wheelwell

 

Well u put on springs on worn ass shocks what do u expect?

 

I don't think your know what NEW OME LIFT means. It means new shocks, springs, and Dakar leafs. SORRY OP.

 

A new ome lift can mean lots of things considering they offer just springs, which come in multiple spring rates. Then they also offer shocks or even shocks and springs pre assembled.... use your words to be more specific that way people know what the fuck your talking about

 

Hi,
Just wanted to post on here in case anyone is considering this (I wish I had found as "clear" as this as I never realized how frustrating tires cold get).
I have a 2019 Tacoma Sport Extended cab 4x4. I swapped out the rims with ones with a -7 offset, and put General AT2 Grabber tires, 265/70R17 and they caused rubbing on the driver side when turning left and hitting the brakes (i.e., turning into a parking spot).
Rubbing was on the mud flap, near where it screws into the wheel well.
I tried a heat gun to melt it down, could not avoid the rub (mud flaps are pretty form fitting there, so not much you can really melt back).

Took it to the dealer, they suggested a leveling kit (2" on front, 1" on back) to fix it. Ended up going back to the OEM size (265/65R17) and no rubbing. I asked, they didn't think the offset was the problem.

Just wanted to post this in case anyone else is considering that size. Pretty frustrating since I was only going up one size.

 

what if you just remove the mudflaps?
Also make sure to warn 3rd gen owners too!

No I didn't remove it (it was only the driver side that was rubbing).

 

I just went through this myself. Went from 265/65/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers to 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks. Rubbing happened. I removed my front mud flaps (didn't want to) and haven't heard rubbing since.

 

To clarify, if you use a spacer that is inside of the strut top hat, that compresses the spring to get your lift, your ride will be more harsh, or will feel like you have stiffer springs.
If you don't off-road in harsh, maximum articulation situations, a spacer lift will be fine. Just get one that mounts on top of the strut so it doesn't compress your front springs.
I've had a top spacer lift for a couple of years now and it's been fine. I do some mild off-roading, but not like you see some of the folks on here doing. Some of these guys really test the limits of their trucks. I think it's great but most of us won't go that extreme.
I would recommend not going more than 2". A one inch spacer up front will yield about 2" of lift.
My truck still rides as plush as it did the day I bought it.
Spacers on top of the strut will not make it ride any more harsh.
