Lift is installed

Yesterday we installed my Toytec Ultimate lift with Dakar leaf springs and LR UCA's. It looks damn good if I do say so myself....

Going to crank the coilovers up a little more and then will take it to get it aligned monday. 17x9 Ballistic Offroad 814 with wrangler duratrac's 285/70/17. I have serious rubbing issues L & R front when turning and going forward or turninig and going in reverse. Any advice or tips on how to deal with this?

 

Yes I took the pics as I was about halfway through removing the bedside decals....

 

pure secks

 

looking really good...congrats bro...

 

Damnnnn looks great! Those rims are awesome! I'm not a fan of the "4x4" badge, but that's just me. As for rubbing, I'd say do some trimming and/or get some spacers. But I don't have first hand experience with that issue, so I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable will chime in!

 

Looks great! When you get your alignment, you may have to get your caster set above 3 degrees. This will push the tires forward away from the back of the wheel well. i assume that is where you are rubbing.

 

Beautiful!

 

you sir....are correct! I am rubbing on the rear of the front wheel wells. I guess I need to do some trimming.....but not sure how to go about it

 

Cut the cab mounts, cut the inner fenders and shave off some things as well.

 

Looks good man. Idk what you would need to trim though...lol

 

Infra...who's side-step bars and bumper guard are you sportin'? They look good...

 

I have the rubbing issue with no lift and 265/70r17s. I've found there is no way to permanently get rid of it. If you look behind the tires in the front two wells, there is a plastic square sticking out. My tires would rub up on them, create friction, and then slowly turn the plastic into flaps, which the tires would then rub up on, and sound a hundred times louder. So i would regularly trim the flaps as they came about.

Now though, I got so sick of it one day, i trimmed all the plastic off the back, and BAM, complete quietness unless i turn hard into a driveway cuz it pushes the tires back. I was so excited. It lasted for three months, now its back
It's not too bad now though, just bad at turning into driveways and gas stations at highish speeds. I'd save trim the plastic, you'll enjoy the next few months

 

looks a lot like Avid stuff to me, could be wrong though, not like it'd be the first time

 

I like the blacked out badging, is it just gloss black paint ? Looks almost gunmetal or black chrome.

 

Thanks Sullyman Correct. I have a light bar and step bars from Avid Offroad. Once they were prepped I had them powder coated black wrinkle.

Thanks...I used a flat black krylon fusion from Home Depot. I may take them off again and sand them down and then use some type of do it yourself bedliner on them. I have only had the badges painted and on the truck for about 2 weeks now and all of them except the 4x4 badge have chips in the paint already, some in several places.

The bedliner is a PITA the keep looking good. Had it on my bumpers and grill surround of my first gen. looked cool touching it up got really old after awhile.

 

Your truck looks awesome!!! Can't wait to get mine done. I love the light bar.

 

Sexy like!

 

Keep an eye on your CV boots after you crank those coils. I ran into this problem with my Ultimate kit and blew a CV boot and axel on my 09 because I had the CO's set too high. I had about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch left on my collers. The truck looked great but did not ride all that great after adjustment. I have since sold it for a 4 1/2 - 5" RCD kit.

 

Looks awesome!! where did you get the front bar and sliders?
