Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yeah, the idea of new wheels and tires is not very appealing to me right now

So far, it has only happened under a specific set of circumstances. Basically, if I go into a tight turn while slowing down, the outside tire rubs on something. It has happened twice now. First time was rubbing on the driver side front while making right hand turn while slowing down on a decline. The second time was on the passenger front when turning left and slowing down on a incline.

It almost feels like the outside tire broke traction. The second time it happened is when I figured something was rubbing. I can't find any definite rub marks yet so it hasn't been real easy to diagnose. Pic below is why I'm thinking it is my wheel/tire/UCA issue. The picture is the driver front tire turned full right.

 

1in spacers up front should do the trick, pretty cheap too compared to new wheels

 

TNT!! My friend made it in the 25 year poster!! She's a mentor here in the Bay Area! Good luck!

 

Check Alex's (sytfu) build page. He has them listed there.

Mike! thanks again for the wheels bro! It was nice meeting you!!

 

I dont see any rub marks on the UCA, sorry if I misunderstood issue, thought you were rubbing on control arms. Looks like a lot of clearance there. Looks nice and clean, can you find any areas where it shows a rub mark?

 

Have you trimmed the front lower part of the fender liner that hangs down? sounds like it is only rubbing when front is compressed under braking. I had to trim the front of liner that hangs down, will submit some photos for you ,if it looks like it will help.

 

Happens when front is compressing while turning.

Going to go out in a couple mins to turn the wheel and jack it up with my high lift to check for rub points.

 

Compressing and turning sounds like you're hitting the back of the wheel well.

 

Possibly, I just can't see where at the moment. After lifting up the driver front wheel I am shying away from the UCA issues. And leaning towards the rubbing on the front fender well.

Maybe putting on my front bumper will fix it

Side note. Doing a diff breather relocate next to the filler cap + camper shell is turning into a 2 man job. So I am waiting for my neighbor to get home to hold the breather while I push the hose on.

 

Most of the time it is the tire hitting the cab mount and occasionally if the tire is large enough it hits the frame underneath the engine when locked and compressed.

 

Hey guys I need some help. I thinking about getting rid of this spacer lift I got and getting something different. I'm thinking about going with something like these?

Are these good options?

 

Do you think that I would need to change out my rear shocks as well? Right now I just have the stock shocks with a AAL.

 

Thank Jay

 

I went with option 2. I have a Dakar leaf spring and did not change the shocks (yet).

 

Saw a first gen come through work today anthracite wheels and supertop stood out the most. Talked to the guy but have no idea what his username was.

 

For $820 I would go with something a lot nicer.

 

Hey guys( & gals). Hope everyone's having a good week. Been in and out of the country lately and haven't been home much. Hope I haven't missed out on any meets or anything crazy lol..
