Rubbing...spacer and coilover questions

My current setup"

Bilstein 5100s front
Eibach 620 lb coils
Toytec AAL
Daystar 1.25” shackles
Bilstein 5125 rear
Toytec BPV relocation bracket
Energy Suspension rear poly bushings
Revtek diff drop


I recently put the front sway back on and added a sway in the rear. Now I'm scrubbing more that I used to I think, either way the little bit of scrubbing I do is really just annoying. Truck mostly will be on pavement since I live in LA and travel for work. For me I think spacers are the way to go. As much as I think coilovers are better and would be cooler, the upkeep and price over the spacers doesn't really allow me to justify them (unless im really underestimating how much the spacers will affect the suspension and how much better of a ride coilovers would bring). But the other side of the coin is that I would rather make the drivability better than worse.

thoughts?

 

Are you wanting to replace your current setup with spacers? Or add wheel spacers?

Where are you rubbing at and what circumstance are you rubbing?

Would you mind posting some photos?

 

Add spacers and wheel spacers. I believe my tires are rubbing the frame, just enough to be annoying (the sound of the tread clipping it). I’ll also be going down a tire size when it’s time to replace. I can post pics later today.

 

Look and confirm. You should be able to see the rub points.

You don't mention your wheel type/dimensions/offset or the tire sizing. Both of which are just as important as suspension in the fitment equation.

 

Current tires are 285/75R16, currently not offset that I’m aware of.

 

Don't add any coil spring/ lift spacers on top of that coilover... You are already at the 3'' of front end lift, what you need is more offset on that wheel, either by wheel spacers or a more offset wheel..

 

What about leveling the truck out? My back end sits a few inches higher than the front?

 

The wheel fitment seems to be the main rubbing problem.

What perch are you on in the front now?

 

If you’re rubbing your frame, it’s likely here. I’m rubbing the same spot on my drivers side. I’m just keeping an eye out for a good deal on used spacers since it doesn’t bother me that much.

 

Not sure what perch is

 

The position the spring mounts on. The 5100s are not adjustable as a shock. But the position the spring mounts on is. It's why most folks call them adjustable

 

I have no idea then
