    Hows it going everybody, I think i have an alignment issue.

    Truck is a 2013 DCLB:
    Just installed the Toytec Ultimate lift kit w/light racing UCA's
    Rims are 20x9 BBS RD-T with one inch spacer
    Tires are 285/55/20 nitto dune grapplers

    The problem i am having is that when i turn the wheel all the way to the left the tire rubs on the drivers side cab mount. But when i turn the wheel all the way to the right the tire is like a quarter inch away from the passanger side cab mount.

    Now i did notice that when i picked up the truck from the alignment shop today that the driver side UCA was adjusted half way up and the passenger side looks tight to the outside of the slide adjustment. The washer that goes on the star on top of the balljoint are both in the same place with is on setting "D" according to the install sheet.

    Here are some pics of the install sheet for the UCA's and the print out from the alignment shop. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

    Not sure if it matters or not but the rim and tires came off of a 2005 DCLB

    Alignment looks fine. The issue is the width of the tires.

    I hate to say this but all of those numbers on that alignment sheet are greek to me. to me it looks like all they did with the UCA's is set the camber, and just cranked the eccentrics on the LCA's to get the caster and toe.

    I am not sure why one side rubs and the other doesn't, the only thing I can come up with is that if the UCA's are used to adjust caster also wouldn't that bring the tire away from the cab mount. And like I said this setup came off a 2005 DCLB with a leveling kit and the only place it rubbed is on the front inner wheel well which was trimmed.
