The Rub Blues

Your UCAs have roughly 2* of caster built in which moves the wheel rearward. Going back to the stock UCAs or adding caster with the LCAs are the easiest ways to move the wheel further forward to get them away from the pinch weld/cab mounts.

 

You went up from 265/70/16 to 275/75/16 but the tire in your picture is 265/75/16?

 

CMC, BFH to pinch weld, trim where needed.
I am running 295s with no problems.
Good luck with your truck.

 

500$ for an hour of work??
My local shop charged 125$ for a cmc.
Amazing....
Maybe they interpreted it as a relocation? Those are spendy.

 

Whoops. That's suppose to say went up FROM a 265/70/16. Last pair was that. =/

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's steep... I'll check around for additional quotes if I end up being lazy and not wanting to do it.

 

Did you regear with 295s? I'm on 285s, but I've been considering 295s. But I don't want to regear.

 

Not yet, but I am ordering 4.56 gears next week.
It's not bad if you manually shift the trans and I can still use OD on the freeway.
I wheel my truck and pull an expedition trailer, so a regear is a must for me.

 

Thanks for the input.
