    I've read a ton about lifts here and think I have a fairly educated plan - just want to bounce it off ya's.

    Very little off road action - dirt roads and trails occasionally.

    I added 1.25 SpiderTrax because I like the look (wheel spacers are highly debated, I know).

    The spacers resulted in rubbing, most of which I was able solve for by cutting and reshaping the plastic wheel liner with heat, but there is some remaining rub at full turn, mostly at low speeds and/or reversing (parking).
    With the slightest acceleration, the front end lifts just enough to eliminate all rub which tells me we're talking about very little margin here and looking at the point where the tire connects/rubs another inch or so of lift should create more than enough clearance.

    Based on what I've read it sounds like 5100s all around (and stock coils) would likely give me the clearance needed to eliminate the rub. Its so slight it almost seems like this can be done through alignment tweaks BUT struts would level out the truck too... which would be nice.

    Sound like a decent plan? Thoughts?

    Adding a picture - contact is made at roughly 10:00... seems like a couple inches would make a difference with the rub (** that's what she said!).

    Upgrading your shock may or may not solve your issues. I would personally go see an alignment shop and get that caster pushed forward a 0.5-1 degree more.
