Control arms hit after suspension mods please help

[14cris]

You have 6.5" of lift on this setup!? If you really do there's your issue, thats entirely too much lift for those methods.

No, so all in all; i have about 4.25” of lift
1” shock spacer
2.5” strut spacer
And 3” lift spindles but they didnt do anything but lift an inch and it gave my upper control arms better angle i have to admit

Take out the 2.5” spacer then and see how it is. That would be the best combo of what you have

I took off the 1” spacer from the bottom, now my control arm doesnt hit the droop stop
But slightly rubs the coil, is this bad?

Upper control arm rubs on spring just a bit

It should hit the droop stop BEFORE it hits the coil.  Something's not right.

I have a 2014 sierra slt, 4wd

originally from the dealer it’s had a 1” RCX spacer under the shock

i installed a 2.5” spacer on top of the strut and the diff drop kit and my arms hit the droop stop

the tech at the alignment shop told me to order the lift knuckles “spindles” from RCX to

make the arms clear

well they didnt clear and are hitting the droop

stop and strut coil now!! 

Im at a loss what can i do???

 

to begin with from tire to fender i has 7.5” of height

after top spacer i had 10.5” of height 

now after spindle install i have 11.25” 

i dont want to get higher and higher i just want my arms not to hit anymore

Does it hit when turning?

im just curious? 

Plus. Putting spacer bottom of shock, and on top of the strut?

thats never recommended.

I'm gonna say your knuckles are the problem (among other things possibly).  What brand is that?  They look like shit.

How am i supposed to see the angles like that?

Remove that upper spacer and just use the lower spacer and you might have enough clearance.

Put the tire on drop it off the jack and take picture from back and front , something is off , let it down with the tire  turned to left  full lock , I think its not that bad and get a pic of diff drop tough to see it  But you are maxed  , Definitely lose the 1" spacer

I did take off the 1” spacer
It helped clear the droop stop, now it’s just hitting the coil a little bit
