after my leveling kit was put on, at full lock i heard this bad rubbing noise. what could be causing the stock wheels and tires to be rubbing the UCA with just a leveling kit? truck is a 2016 SLT. i have a picture but trying to figure out how to upload.

the tires are stock size. definitely planning (or at least was trying to) on getting bigger tires but definitely don't think that is a good idea until i figure this problem out.

we are also talking about 20" wheels not 18's. different wheel with different offset and backspacing could make a huge difference in this situation.

That's a hell of a rub. What size wheels do you have?

I have the stock 20" AT wheels and 305/50R20 tires and I rub the UCA, but not as bad as yours seem to be.

Strange, unless you have large tires.

I would post some more pics of your suspension from different angles. That's the only way anyone here may be able to help you.

What is the size of the tires? Know the offset of the wheel?

I am in the same boat but I installed fox 2.0 all around. Stock tires on stock 20 rims. My rub at full lock is not as severe but it's still there.

 

Others have mentioned wheel spacers but I am looking at aftermarket UCA's possibly camburg or cognito to fox this because I like the stock rims...

I don't think aftermarket UCAs are going to help you. Most specify 4.75" backspacing max.

Have you taken it for alignment?

they did the alignment when it was installed. I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow to see what they can see. Also will be adding more pics of my angles this afternoon to see if anyone can help after that.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
