Upper control arms

What can I do to make my upper control arms sit higher above my tires? I'm having issues fitting tires cause my tire will rub on the upper controls arms. What do I do.

 

Hi there, not really possible. We need more info though. What wheels, tires, and lift do you have. Sounds your wheel backspacing is incorrect.

 

Stock wheels, 265/70r16s right now, and a 3in lift

 

Did you upgrade to aftermarket UCAs? Anything approaching or over 2.5" of lift it is recommended that you swap your stock UCAs for aftermarket.

 

I have stock UCA's but will that sit further away from my tire when I turn?

 

Add wheel spacers or get new wheels with a different offset/back spacing.

 

Did you just lift it? just get tires? I had same size tire no lift and no rubbing. How's your alignment?
Aftermarket UCA give higher caster, moves wheel more to the front.
You can try spacers but may end up rubbing the cab mounts.

 

Pics of the lift and wheel setup you are running @SilverLightning? With the OEM 16" alloy wheels you shouldn't be rubbing the factory UCA.

 

This ^^^

 

I'm trying to get bigger tires, those are the size I've always ran

 

You’re not being super clear, and no one can help you without answering the questions we’re asking.

Are you saying that during the process of TRYING to fit larger tires at the shop you’re rubbing? As in right now, with you’re current tire size you’re fine?

 

Sorry. What I'm trying to say is, that if I get bigger tires, when I turn my tires it will rub the ucas.

 

If you want to run bigger tires you need wheels with more offset, or wheel spacers. Either one may create new rubbing issues elsewhere

 

What UCA's would you recomend?

 

SPC/Light racing

 

Cool! Thanks!

 

OP, that tire size should not rub on stock UCAs. I suspect your alignment may need a refresh, specifically Camber.

 

Wrong. Aftermarket UCAs (with built in caster) will move the wheel towards the rear. Increasing caster via the LCAs will move the wheel forward.
