KO2 285/70/17 Help!

All - This is my first post and I've looked for specific advice on cutting and tire sized. Question is I just had some KO2's installed and I'm having some issues. The rear tires have no problems, the front is a different story. At a full turn you can tell its rubbing. I know I have two options here and I'm not a huge fan of either. 1. Get smaller tires, would 275/70/17 fit? 2. Start to cut. Question is I don't even know where to begin with something like this. I suppose if it were some small trimming I could do it, but i cannot honestly assess how much I will need to trim. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I love this tire and would like to keep them.

887's with 90021
LR UCA
Dakar in the rear
SCS Stealth 6 17

 

If you cut it will start the rust.

 

255/80/17

Taller and skinnier. That's what I ran to prevent this sort of problem.

Don't know if that's the type of advice you're looking for.

 

Did you get an alignment after the lift? Did they adjust caster to give you the most clearance? What position is the LR UCA adjusted to?

 

Pinch weld mod. Cut it up

 

I would check this out prior to cutting anything: www.spcalignment.com/instructions/25480-INS_WEB.pdf

 

Yup...i have 285 70 17. And did some trimming, just do what looks right a little a a time, you really do not need to cut the body, but if you do take it to some one that will do it right, they will cut weld and smooth it out and if they are any good they will hit it with some primer and black paint...no rust

 

Cab mount chop! Look it up, it should solve that rubbing at full turn.

 

What caster setting have you found to be the sweet spot?

 

Appreciate it guys. I'm going to see if they can adjust the UCA. Hopefully that will solve it.

 

Post up what setting you go with after you're done

 

Will do. Probably going to take care of it sooner rather than later.

at about 130 they show how the ball joint is moved and how it works.

 

I had the same problem so went with 265/75/16 BFG KO2.
Problem solved, also have 887 with LR UCA.
was able to use mud guards again with no issues.

 

Do you know where its rubbing
Had same size kos on my 05 now running same but in wildpeaks on my 14
Both rubbed at full lock on front side of inner fender well
Some guys use heat gun to reshape no cutting needed

 

Cab mount chop

 

you can mark your tires with white chalk and find out where it rubs. I wouldn't cut anything on your truck, just go down a tire size.

 

CMC looks needed.

 

From the looks of the 2nd picture, it looks like that's exactly what he needs.
