    Has anyone had this issue? Tie rods from rack rub on the inner side of tires. If I lower tire pressure this issue isn't as bad. I have balanced and rotated tires. I have searched this and I can't find a post addressing this. I am sorry if I missed it....thanks

    ^What size is your tire? What size and backspacing is your wheel? From the install instructions: http://www.procompusa.com/aux_incl/pdf.ashx?pdf=57047x_K5069x_INST.pdf&line=EXP

    The only thing I see that does not meet the spec requirements is that the backspacing is 5.7. Rims are 18x9. Backspacing information off the website on backspacing.Tires are 35x12.50 18 LT mud snow nitto grapplers

    That's probably the source of the rubbing. Your tire sidewall is about 1/4" closer to the suspension components than the minimum spec Pro Comp provided.

    You can get these 1/4" wheel spacers: They probably need extended thread lugnuts like these:

    I was actually looking at wheel spacers but I did not see these. I think I may go this option...I am pretty confident this should fix the issue. Thanks for your help.

    One last question. Are those lugs nuts going to be long enough?

    Also with a spacer wouldn't I have to have long wheel studs. I ordered what you suggested but this had me thinking. A 1/4 inch different is a 1/4 less on the stud.

    I did not lift this truck. I traded my 08 tundra in on this 2011 almost 2 years ago. This truck had the lift and tires already on it. I do not know if this Rod ends are aftermarket or stock. I would assume since this truck was lifted by the dealership that they used the correct ends. I didnt have these issues until recently.
