    Hey y'all,
    Few weeks ago i just recently put on a 3" lift from toytec with JBA offroad UCAs and ever since putting it on i have noticed my passenger side front tire, has a horrible rubbing sound when backing up specially and sometimes at a full turn going foward. I have already trimmed some of the inner part of the flare and run w/o mudflaps, yet still doesnt fix it. Any suggestions? Do i need to trim more of the flare off because i feel like that would fix the issue or add a 1" body lift?

    As additional information i have 1.25" spidertraxx wheel spacers. I don't want to remove these at all but if i have to i will to fix issue.

    265 75 16 shouldn't rub. I would try it with the wheel spacers off and see if it's still rubbing

    I wouldn't add the BL, but I ran that tire with stick suspension with no issues. I'm guessing it might be the spacer. Remove them and see how it does

    Have you removed those little plastic flaps on the front of the wheelwell ? Also you might want to check what your caster is set at, with aftermarket UCAs you should be close to 3, you might not rub then

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    If you are running the factory skid make sure you are not hitting that at full lock. If so you can solve it in 2 min with an adjustable wrench. Just bend it back a little. Had to do that on a buddies Tundra with factory wheels.

    Will look if it is front. But so far its just the rear of front tires

    Thats what I have read on here, if you are close to 3 it should cut down on the rubbing. What rim offset do you have ? My SCS rims are out a couple inches more than stock with -10 offset and 4.3 back spacing, and I have minimal rubbing on mud flaps.

    2 degrees is pretty good for a 3"lift. It seems like you have offset aftermarket rims on top of spacers, so you've answered your own problem.

    You could also weld in a steering stop pad to help prevent rubbing, but then it will turn like a pig.

    Hey all,

    Jumping on here for my setup as well. Running 265/75/16's on Method NV305's, LR SPC UCA's, & OME HD lift front & rear with a 5mm spacer on driver side coilover. Getting rubbing with full left hand turn while reversing. Helped a bit when I swapped out my Stock flaps for RokBlokz but still noticeable/irritating. Should I get my guys to adjust my caster forward? Won't that make the rest of the alignment screwy?

    Cheers
