Hey fellas. I have a 04' supercrew 4x4. I just changed to 325/60/18 Nitto AT's on my factory wheels. There is rubbing at full turn. If installing a leveling kit will cure this, I am all about it. Will a 2 inch AS do the trick?? I've read a lot of posts and the 2inch seams to keep it level without the front jacked up. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

 

I assume the rubbing is on the control arms at full steering lock. This is because of the combination of a really wide tire on a wheel with a good bit of backspacing. A leveling kit won't cure this rubbing, but it will make the truck look better. If you have rubbing on the edge of the wheelwells up front, a leveling kit will help with this.

 

what backspacing specs would cause this wandell?

 

It's a combination of the backspacing and wheel width. The OEM wheels have 5.5 inches of backspacing, but they are only 7.5 inches wide.

 

I would look at new wheels. I have the 2'' AS with my Helo max 6 18x9 and the nittos 325-60-18 and I have no rubbing at all.

 

Thanks ya'll for your help! One more question...Is there any potential risk will minor rubbing of the lower arm?? I don't do any extreme off-roading, but I do get off-road to hunt quite often. I didn't know if I need to be more carefull when going through rough stuff and if I could eventually damage something???

 

I don't think the rubbing is enough to damage anything.
