    Ok, I've taken off my LCA skids. Off to the tire shop to get another alignment and I'll see what it looks like after that.

    If they can push the caster more positive now that the LCA skids are off, that would help clear the cab mount more. Might still need to do a CMC though

    Yeah, make sure you dont get a “toe n go”. Tell them what’s going on and ask for a before and after readout

    Alright, looks like we're in business. I asked them to caster as far positive as possible, after talking about the issue, now I think I may actually be in better shape than with the spacer lift. I'm going to go test it out tomorrow, however I hit the lip on my driveway a couple of times with the wheel turned fully in both directions and had no problems (I used to get a little "chirp" rub if I hit it too fast).

    Thanks for all the great info and replies folks, love this community!

    My front tires rub my mud guard and it doesn't hurt anything, but anything else it will destroy tires.
