    I know virtually nothing about alignments but could that be the cause of rubbing after installing 5100's?

    Prior to the install, I put 265/70/17 on my 2017 and after removing the front mud flaps had no issue with rubbing at fully locked left turn. A month later, I installed 5100's on all four corners, added OME 887's up front and an AAL in the rear. It's settled at about 2" of lift is what I was looking for but the left front is rubbing when fully locked in a turn. I measured the distance between the right and left today and the left tire is 1/4" closer to the rear of the fender than the right. I also replaced the UCA's on the thought I might go with slightly larger tires in the future.

    Below are the alignment specs when I put the tires on and after the lift install ... two different locations for each alignment.

    Any thoughts on the rubbing and how to remedy it are greatly appreciated!

    Did you preload the 5100's at all? How much lift did you achieve from the 5100s + 887 coils? Stock wheels or aftermarket?

    Caster seems kind of low at 2.5*, you could ask the alignment tech to get it near 3.5* but it'd be helpful if you can disclose more info on where you're rubbing, how much lift, and what kind of UCAs. We'd give better and more accurate feedback with that info :)

    Struts and springs came preassembled from Headstrong set at zero, along with SPC UCA's and the rear AAL. Rubbing the rear inside corner of the fender flair ... only the left side and only at full lock
