    So I finally got around to putting on some Extended Travel Icons and LR UCA's and got an alignment this weekend and now im rubbing so much more that my previous setup. I notice it a lot more when im driving around going into driveways and especially when I took it out on a short fire road run.

    My old setup was Bilstein 5100s' and 885 coils with the factory UCA.

    I was rubbing, but not nearly as much as this current setup. My wheels would barely touch the cab mount at full stuff. Now its hitting the cab mount significantly, the pinch weld and the fender flare.
    My tire size is 285/75 16

    My alignment specs are:

    Left Front: Right Front:
    Camber: -0.1 Camber: -0.6
    Caster : 2.3 Caster: 2.4
    Toe : 0.10 Toe: 0.08

    Im not too worried about a CMC or some trimming. I just think this is really weird that its made this big of a difference. Maybe the alignment specs are off?

    Ha! This happened to me. Had an OME lift. No rubbing. Then Icon stage 5 lift went on and another alignment. Major rub. I'm going to go back Saturday and talk to the alignment guy and see if he can move my tire forward a bit.

    Must be the alignment. I've heard it can get screwed up easily. They have to push the tire forward away from the rear.

    The alignment tech was either not familiar with the LR control arms or he was too lazy to adjust them. Or he just didn't think it was required. There is a great thread explaining how to gain a considerable amount of clearance with those control arms.
