    Ok.
    Here’s the run down.
    Yes I went cheap on the lift. I don’t off-road unless I’m hunting and on my tract of land.

    2017
    3” rough country lift
    20x10 hostile fury wheels
    275/60/20 falken AT3 (was told by installer it would fit and not rub)
    It’s rubbing, yes I’m aware if I change and go to a smaller tire it won’t run. Issue being is the size down from the current size is a 10ply and cost a crazy amount more than the size I have now.
    I’m new to the Tacoma world so I’m wondering if there is any tips or tricks I can do to get it to clear.
    I’ve seen some say you can add 2* of camber and it may clear.
    It’s rubbing on the inside, I’m guessing the frame mount. It’s hitting metal not the inner fender or flare.
    Any help or opinion is appreciated.

    Before the shitstorm of bro-hating mall crawling comments, I would say check and see where you’re rubbing. Chances are it’s the cab mount, and you can have it cut and re welded. Plastic is an easy fix too.

    Cab mount chop. Smaller tires. Alignment to increase caster.

    If you don’t have new control arms, you may look into getting Light Racing control arms, or any others that provide more caster.
    And if it’s hitting the cab mount on the frame, then you could cut that back, and weld in a new wall, to provide more tire clearance.

    I figured I’d get some hate lol, I’m an ex CO. Takes a lot to hurt my feelings. Alreast I’m not on street tires.
    I was afraid people would say to cut, that’s something I really don’t want to do.
    I may look into changing the UCA and give that a shot first.

    Simply put, those are your options. Cut, align, decrease tire size. Nothing magic I'm afraid.

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    Can you get a pic of where it rubs? It'll help us. The way I interpret, sounds like wheels need less backspacing (wheel pushed out further from frame). Is that it?

    I can take a picture in the morning. It’s definitely hitting the cab mount.
    But hardly, only if I’m turning and hitting the brakes pretty hard or turning and hitting a big bump.

    If you’re rubbing the cab mount I doubt getting after market UCA’s will fix it. If you don’t want to cut the cab mount you can try increasing caster to like +3.5 or more. That’ll move your wheels a little forward.

    This. Take it to a good established local 4x4 shop or alignment shop and show them what you got. Take the guess work out.
