Stock suspension. Rubs on plastic when reversing or going up/down a driveway hot. Easiest fix!?

 

More caster, close to 2.5 to 3.0 should help.

 

i didn’t get an alignment when I put these on...should I have? Also..would a place like Firestone add caster if asked too?

 

It’s a good rule of thumb to get an alignment with brand new tires

 

I will do that next. Thanks!

 

Can't answer on Firestone, I only use dedicated frontend/frame shops for Alignments. But increasing caster to 2.5 to 3.0 will give you more wheel/tire clearance at the back side of wheel well. Factory caster is 1.2 to 1.5 You have to tell alignment shop push caster high close to 3.0 as possible.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Check out post/thread "How do I fix this rub?" He is going through same thing also, and everyone is saying more caster.

 

Lift the front an 1” min. I did 5100’s and 884 springs and still rub every blue moon.

 

That looks good. I do have plans in the near future to add a small lift

 

Trying to save that for last if nothing else works

 

You don’t have to cut anything with 265/70/17

 

Is there no cutting on stock suspension with a 17x9 w/3.5 bs?

 

FWIW I’m the OP in that thread, and caster wasn’t the answer. Some light trimming and heat molding worked though.

 

Did you add anything to rear?

 

No, stock height.

 

Not necessarily. Depends on wheel / tire / alignment / moon phase / weather forecast. So many variables.

 

Where did you get the Bilstein 5100 and the springs from? If I go with an 887 spring would that give me a higher lift ?

 

I got it from headstrong. Yes it would be higher. Going with 884 gave me a 1/2” rake rear to front. If you go 885 or higher you will sit nose high.
