    Recently put an IMS Dobinson suspension on my truck, front and rear shocks, along with the leaf spring. I'm running 26570R17 and I'm STILL rubbing when pulling into my driveway on the drivers side. There is a curb here, so it is a slight impact. Currently, in the front, my truck is sitting about 23.5 inches on the left and a full half inch higher on the right from the center of wheel... some of the offset could be due to the lean in my driveway, but I did measure leveled after install and right side was still .25 inches higher. The install was done a few weeks ago.

    The strange thing is the left tire seems a full inch closer to the rear of the wheel well than the right side. I'm guessing this is why I'm rubbing.

    Sounds like your alignment wasn't balanced when they did it. Many shops just adjust from where it started instead of "zeroing it out". They need to turn the rear cams all the way outward, front cams all the way inward, then set camber and toe. This leaves both wheels evenly forward and back, and also pushes them as far forward as possible for maximum caster and also tire clearance.

    Thanks! Think you may be right on target as I just had it aligned and don't recall having the rubbing issue when pulling into my driveway prior.
