    I did the Toytec 3" Complete lift, LR UCA's, and had to get new wheels due to the backspacing and the UCA's.

    My problem seems to be while breaking or coming down to lower speeds, it feels as though there is a huge rubbing/vibration feeling in the front. It doesnt cause any shakes in the steering but it is very noticable.

    Has anybody has this problem or know whats causing it.....it would be great to be smooth once again.


    Thanks!

    ^Yeah. New mudders?

    Is your ABS kicking on unnecessarily?

    Everything torqued properly/tight?

    Sorry didn't realize it wasn't the op with the mudders comment. If you got mudders or a very aggressive a/t tire that's the problem if no idk give us more to work with

    Intersting. You shouldn't be getting much feedback from the BFG ATs. You have fluids in your diff etc?

    Rubbing feeling, like it's 'dragging' or binding? Or like your tire is rubbing on something? Any associated noise?
