    Recently I finished most of my build on my truck. I put Toytec 1.6 eibach springs, 3/4 top plate spacer and camburg UCA's. Before the UCA I had to put on 1/4 wheel spacers so my tires(285/75/16) wouldn't rub the stock UCA. But then after going over an intersection the truck dipped and I heard a bad rub and found the tires cut by my TMJ bumper. So I ordered the Camburg's to remove the 1/4 spacer. This helped a lot but I still rub going over an intersection. Funny thing is if I wheel the truck I don't seem to have an issue. I think it may only be on the drivers side now but don't really want to test to confirm.


    Going over an intersection the vehicle will rise and then on the other side there is a dip causing a harder compression. Are the 5100's good enough to control the expansion and compression? Are bump stop's needed now that the truck is up 3"?


    Thanks!

    Any thoughts? What about alignment? They didn't want to put anymore caster because it may rub in the back of the fender. This all look plastic to me and I am wondering if anyone has modified the fenders to give more wheel space?

    I may have to cut mine too, but it looks like if I removed or cut the rear of the fender flare I can get about 1/2 inch or more of space allowing me to move the tire back with more caster. Which would help a lot with the front bumper.

    Also I was wondering if I could find wheels with more back spacing to allow for the tire to be in more. Not sure if that would help.
