    I have a 2002 Tacoma with a 3 inch lift. 5150 Bilstein shocks with a half inch spacer up front and 1 and half in aal in the rear. Im running 31 x 10.50 on 15 inch rims. I also have an inch and a quarter wheel spacers behind the rims. My question is will buying a set of Total Chaos or ICON UCAs help get rid of tire rub. I only have rub when I make hard turns. Im also thinking of upgrading those 31s to 33s. Thanks for the help guys.

    The UCA will only allow 1" more of travel.

    Are you rubbing on the frame? <-- Meh
    Are you rubbing on the firewall? <--- Pinchweld mod..

    Wheel backspacing and spacers are the only thing that can help with tire rub, and the obvious, cutting/hammering the fenderwells in.

    How the hell are you rubbing on 31x10.5s?? I ran those on stock rims with no problem..

    Wheel spacers are all you can really do.

    Do the pinch weld mod
