Adams 3rd Gen build

Hey guys, so I have done a few things to my 2017 truck over the last 13,000 miles.

*3/2 Rough Country suspension lift.
-strut spacer and 2" blocks
-No2 back shocks
*285/70 R17 tires
-goodyear wrangler Duratracs
*fuel offroad Vapor 17x9 -12 offset machine tinted rims
*TRD Sport OEM hood decal
*custom grill
*AVS hood deflector
*Rough Country 2" offroad LED black creed cube lights for fog light replacement
*Rigid Industries fog mount light kit
*vinal lettering for outside and inside

 

Any rubbing with that lift and tires?

 

Slight rubbing on plastic mudd flaps in front on half turn if going up or down a drive way fast. I took it off road, fairly easy, and no rubbing. No rubbing when normal driving on street. If I took off the flaps, it probably wouldn't rub at all. I have the tire pressure at 36psi and rides just like stock. Slight tire flap nice goING around 30 to 50 bit almost goes away on freeway

 

Thanks. Just had a local shop quote me for this lift but they said 265/70/17’s were the largest I could fit. The only off-roading I do is beach driving so I’m gonna try and fit 285’s

 

No prob. I did the lift myself but as soon as I went down the street to get it aligned, the stability control system light came on. Turned out to be the steering sensor was out of wack and the dealer had to reset it. Lucky they billed it under warranty. 265 would definitely not rub at all but if I took off the mud flaps it probably wouldn't rub. Don't know if you have the plastic mud flaps. I think I might go with 275's next time but I do like the beefy look of those 285's. I also liked the Nitto trail grapplers but herd those are noise. The ones I have are quiet. Tell you what, those RC No2 rear shocks that cone with rhe 3/2 kit are much better then the stocks! Truck does not bounce at all. Of course I'm running 36psi though. It is smooth on the dirt though.

 

Just a heads up, if yours is a 4x4 like mine, you most likely will have the slight vibration around 35 lime I do. If you put it in 4x4 and it goes away it is the driver side needle bearing. It is all overy this forum and east coast gear supply makes a bronse bushing to replace it. I was going to do it but showed my machanic and he did not recommend it. He said a needle bearing is way better than a straight bushing in that application. He said it is nothing to worry about and more of a nusance. The vibes for me are less now and they go away after 40 and before 30 - 35.

 

Did you install the diff drop with the kit?

 

Yes

 

Update on my truck. Put anew egsaust system on. Flowmaster delta 50 coming out both sides of truck. Sound good for a V6 I think. Of course it doesn't sound like an 8 but it's pretty deep sounding.

 

Also, I found that with a 3/2 leveling RC kit, Fuel Vapors fit perfect with the positive 1 offset. I had -12 and they would rub slightly on the driver side. I have a 17x9 rim size with 285/70s
