    I installed 1.25" spidertrax spacers and bilstein5100s at all four corners with Eibach 1.6" coils preinstalled on shocks by Headstrong. Looks and rides exactly as I had hope - drastic improvement! Getting rubbing with slight turn and/or mildly heavy bump (speed bump above 25 mph, steeper drive approach at normal speed). I hope this is an alignment issue which is still not completed, but thought others may have feedback or advise? I read many posts about issues with lifts in the 2.5"+ range but this was so mild? 265/70/17 tire size from the dealer. Thanks in advance!

    Lose the spacers.

    That simple huh? Bummer... How are others running wheels with a greater back spacing? Thanks!

    Could just be your front flaps needing trimmed or removal.

    But try one or the other. Shouldn't be rubbing with that tire size, it's likely a spacer problem.

    It's defiantley the flaps but in weird spots it seems. Pic attached is drivers side. Pretty obvious at full rack the clearance issues and how the geometry of the spacer is the cause. Align then maybe trim is the plan. Appreciate your help man! Cheers!
