    Alright guys, so I've been running Bilstein 5100's with the stock coils compressed to the highest setting with a cab mount chop on 295/70/17's and haven't had any contact between the tire and the mount.

    Over this last weekend I installed OME 2888's on the 5100's and added Freedom Offroad UCA's. My goal was to get a little bit more lift and have a softer ride over the compressed springs. Got the truck back yesterday from the alignment shop and I'm getting pull to the right and making contact on both mounts. I was under the impression that the UCA's and additional lift would give me more, not less clearance? I'm loading the alignment specs to see if anyone can help me make sense of it. This is a reputable shop that does alignment work for SDHQ and they were the shop that did my original alignment before and got rid of the rubbing.

    Have them try to get more caster, particularly the left to match the right. If you indeed gained additional lift, the caster has to be higher as well
