mod problems

i put in a revtek 3" suspention lift in my 2012 trd.powdercoated my stock 17 inch rims and put on 285/70/17 mickey thompson baja atz's, the tires are rubbing on the upper control arm with the turn of the wheel... how do i fix this problem?

thanks

 

Try some spidertrax wheel spacers

 

+1 I had to install the spidertrax 1 1/4" spacers to run the 285.70.17 with stock wheels. Had to remove the mudflaps and do some cutting as well.

 

how much does the tire stick out past the wheel well with 1 1/4 spacers? with 285 70 r17

 

1 and 1/4" further than they do now I assume.


go to spidertrax website and get a set of their "blemished" sets.......u wont "see" them when they are on the truck, so scratches dont mean a thing

 

Not a whole lot these are 285/75/16. Same size tire. I personally like the way it looks.

 

Let me think ...

 

I have read here that spacers cause excess stress on the suspension. How real is this stress? Is it stress merely on paper or is it real world stress that makes components fail?

 

lulz

 

Thanks.

 

Did you guys buy two sets of spacers or just one? Meaning did you do the front and back? Or just the front?

 

I just did one set ( front only) no problems. cant tell that the front sticks out further than the back unless you really try

 

I only put them on the front of my runner. Never really noticed a difference between the front and back after the 1st week.

 

I have the RevTek kit also and had to run the spidertrax spacers with 285/70r17 tires. Not sure if it makes any difference but I went ahead and installed them all the way around. But I have zero rubbing issues up front. good luck

 

I have the 3" rough country kit with 285's and had to put on spidertrax wheel spacers also to fix the UCA rubbing. But ones i put them on, no problems at all!
