    Welcome to TW.
    What size tires do you have? It sounds like you have larger than stock tires.

    Huh, that size shouldn't rub stock or lifted.

    not necessarily, the tires get taller and wider as you go up in size (Generally) and when you turn it can cause you to rub the frame.

    Are your brakes good? Wheel bearings, rusted LCA bolts, u-joints, CV axles? Just throwing some thoughts out there.

    I changed the brakes n barley switched out the LCA'S on both sides haven't gone for alignment bt I think I might have to change tie rods bt not sure tried taking it to mechanic but hard to find a good one they don't really know what there doing :argue::bananadead:
