I just bought a 2010 Screw FX4, and I love it. I bought the AS 2" leveling kit, and then put on some BFG 285/65/20's. The problem is rubbing in turns, but I can't tell where. Without the vehicle in motion, there is no touching, but when I take a hard left at about 20 mph, I get a vibration. I am assuming this is the tire rubbing, and hoping it isn't anything else.

Has anyone done this setup on the 2009 and 2010's? If so, did you have rubbing, and where?

Thanks.

As soon as I get this fixed, and clean the truck, I throw some pics up for anyone contemplating the same setup. (The truck is dirty because I've been hauling tree limbs knocked down from the snowstorm over a month ago.)

 

Could be hitting the a-arms. Look for a tire mark on the arms.

^^^He has a kit like that. That the AS 2" leveling kit.

OP: What wheels? Ford 20" for the FX4 or after-market?

 

you sure its not the traction control kickin on?

 

i second the a arm, i can barely get a finger inbetween them while the wheel is turned. also look for black scuffs on the front lower valence and to the rear of the tire, inner fender well. you can put some masking tape in those areas to help show you.

 

Stock wheels or aftermarket wheels? The offset of the wheels makes a huge difference in what size tires will fit.

 

Did you get the truck aligned after you installed the AS kit?

 

I just replaced my tires with 305/55R20's on oe wheels and they fit well and look great. 2 1/2" leveling kit and AAL.

 

It has the stock 20" rims, and the alignment was done after the work. Also, the thought on the traction control...It almost feels like that. It almost has a sound like abs brakes coming on. Is it possible that the tire size has screwed up the computer?

 

And yes, I did get an alignment done after all the work was completed.

 

BTW Freeky FX4...how 'bout them 'eers!

 

So it is NOT RUBBING! Which is great! Unfortunately, it is the traction control kicking on. Any ideas on why, and if there is a solution other than turning it off.

 

Yes sir! They're looking good this year! Bob Huggins has whipped those guys into shape!

 

Can we see pics of your new setup?
