Tire rub, Body lift options.

[tarantumtwister]

Hey i just installed my new tires p265 75r16 and they rub when i ture a little over half way, so im looking for a body lift. Can you guys suggest some options. i already cranked my torsion bars, im also looking for wheel spacers.

Thanks

darcy.

Perhaps different wheels would also be another option to consider?

sawzal unless they are hitting the frame

i have 2" wheel spacers that i'd sell you but theyre in NH and not readily available....sorry i couldnt help more

I just put 33's on my 93 with a 2" body lift and I just had to trim the front bumper valance. I also have leveling spacers, but the tires fit just right with my black steel wheels.

yeah they seem like they might rub the frame or inside area on sharp turning.

I just bought tires today. those were the ones i wanted and then realized that they would rub so i went with the 70 series instead. i figured i could get the 75s and then get wheel spacers but i don't know how much that would help.

whats your wheel offset? and what are you rubbing on?

Crank your t-bars.

 

[tarantumtwister]

t bars are cranked almost all the way i might get another 3/4 inch out of them...

Thats interesting. I have 265x75 R16 on my truck and only slightly rub when cranked hard over and compressed.

im thinking wheel spaces may fix the problem as i got a friend of mine to drive the truck and turn it sharp while i looked under the front fender, i noticed that its rubbing close to the frame on the inside rear and the plastic shroud in the rear also!!!!

That's weird. I run that exact size on my 07 and with my tbars cranked I only get a little rub from the inside edge on the sway bar. Not even enough that I notice, I only know from seeing the rub marks.

Could an 01 be that much different?

 

[cappin90]

huh that's weird im running the same size tire on my 98 with a t-bar crank and only my passenger side tire rubs, if you get a 3" body lift you'll want at least 33's

 

[tarantumtwister]

i believe minerubs moreon the passenger side also, butithink that i can crank my tbars morebut istillldont think that that will do much,mabey the rimson differnt years may have a diff offset.
