3.5" RC lift with 295/70r18

DangerustZ71 · December 3, 2016

ok fellas I have a 2016 silverado with a 3.5" lift from rough country with there UCAS and 295/70r18 tires with fuel Recoil rims with the stock offset. Now it only rubs at full or close to full wheel crank but it's on the UCA and the sway bars. Just ordered some 1.5" hub centric wheel spacers adapters. I'm thinking I will have to trim the inner fender liner but hoping not the fenders themselves as there is a.good amount of space in between. Praying I don't rub on my bumper as well. The lower valance I don't really care I can trim that or remove completely and add a mazzula skid plate. But has anyone done anything similar to this ? even with a offset wheel? any feedback would be appreciated. Pic below is how the truck sits now without spacers. any ideas? Is this even possible lol Tips?

does it rub with stock wheels or aftermarket offsett? i was hoping to use that tire size with my 2.5 level and stock wheels

I had stock wheels on before and it rubbed at full wheel lock on the sway bars and on the Upper control arms. you might have a tough time with just a level. It's a big tire. my spacers just came in and people told me I shouldn't even put them on because they won't work with the tire size. my new wheels are stock offset

Dam well u might want to look at the boss coil overs thread. he was trying out different tire sizes and wheels he might be able to answer that question

yah sadly don't think the spacers are going to work. Was hoping they would eliminate the rub in the sway bars and UCAs but are going to make me rub on less desirable places. Nice truck by the way! Had the same one before the white. loved it, Canadian winters didn't like the black paint tho

How are the CV axle angles on your truck after the lift, would you mind posting some photos of the CV angles. I'm considering a 3&1/2 in budget lift like yours but worried about some comments made by other members about the CV angles. Also how is the ride, close to factory?Thanks.

I'm also interested in seeing this.. Tie rod end angles also

Did you look at the .25 inch spacer that RC sells. That might be the solution to your rubbing on the control arms. Just enough to bump it out but not too much that it rubs elsewhere. Just my .02
