    Had my new tires and wheels installed today. Falken Wildpeak 275/70/17. Wheels are Relations Race Wheels -12 offset. No rubbing. I have the Eibach lift. It’s pulling to the right now though. Had an alignment 6 months ago when the Eibach Kit was installed. What would cause it to pull now?3AC9D266-C0EA-4275-99B6-930FD26BA504.jpg54AFC0AC-1ABC-45DE-A983-017154D7914E.jpg

    Bad alignment? Tire pressure? If when you did your alignment 6 months ago you had older worn tires..these being new can throw it off best bet is to get it checked now again with the new wheel tire combo to make sure everything checks out and you dont start to get uneven wear.

    That wheel tire combo looks great :thumbsup:
    Is that a 2" lift? Factory shocks? Rear add a leaf?

    It’s about 1 3/4” up front and a 1” block in rear. Shocks are Eibach from their pro lift. The wheels look even better in person. The gunmetal color looks perfect with cement.

    I done a 2'' lift all 4 corners, I read all the hype about suspension geometry ...so with the 265/65/17 I thought this would be great, had the front end aligned all was well... after a little nudge from a friend I decided to put the spc upper control arms on my truck , after the alignment, I backed it out of the building and the first time I turned the wheel I was hooked. The ucas relaxed the steering and the ride was back to stock... you have a sharp truck and I would suggest the ucas for a mod

    Are you running running factory 17" wheels or aftermarket? I'm concerned the tire may rub the UCA if I keep the factory 16" wheels and use SPC with a 2" lift.

    I am running the factory 17'' wheels, I will try to upload a couple of pics this weekend if your interested. The width of the tire is the key factor imo, wider reaches the control arms and the inner fender quicker, on my 14 I ran a 34'' tall tire but kept the 10.5 width tire on 3'' lift. Factory control arms run out of camber adjustment to be in specs, the spc control arms have caster built into the control arm plus it has adjustable camber settings, this is all extra plus what the truck already has for adjustment.
