    Top of the morning fellas,

    I have just finished up putting a 3” Pro Comp lift on my ‘17 Off Road and some 285/75r16 Toyo Open Country AT 3’s on. Everything fits great and have a good bit of room but at full tort I am getting slight rubbing on my stock upper control arm.

    Is this something to worry about and consider getting new upper control arms? Or is this something common and not worth the sweat?

    many info would be great thank you!

    Working on it
    UCAs probably won't fix it, the only guaranteed fix for rubbing on UCAs is spacers or wheels with different backspacing.

    I took off an air dam once
    Agreed, probably need a wheel with Less backspacing and/or more offset to push the wheel and tire away from the UCA. A set of spacers would be quick and cheap though and allow you to run the same wheels
