    Hey everyone!

    I’m new to the site but I’ve read so so many forums on here. I’ve been super excited to get 285/70/17 BFG KO2’S and Methods (17x85 0mm offset) on my truck (2018 TRD OR). I got them and when I test fit they rubbed the cab mount which I figured would happen. Today I spent the entire day with a fabricator and even after a cab mount chop and some plastic cutting THEY STILL RUB BAD..

    Please help me get sorted because I’m so confused at this point. I have Fox Suspension all around, Icon UCA’s installed as well as an add a leaf in the rear. Really not sure what the issues is.

    thank you!

    if you're rubbing on the inside then spacers can help. or are you rubbing still where the cab mount was? in which case you'd try to increase caster.

    Rubbing on the Cab mount and plastic in that area. Okay, I was hoping that a change in alignment would help solve the problem because otherwise I’m so lost as to what to do

    also thank you for getting back to me!! I super appreciate it

    Okay so I went in for an alignment this morning and I’m still rubbing quiet a bit. These are the numbers I got.
    Not sure why I’m having so many problems...

    find an offroad tech who can align you well. your caster is way too low, but you need someone with the right skills to get the numbers & positioning you seek. if you keep using the same guy: :frusty:
