Have u tried running it without the spacer?  The spacer may be pushing it too far out.

I agree with this. I have the same size wheels without the spacer but slightly wider than average tires and they just barely fit, I still had to do some minor but unnoticeable trimming. I know if I added a spacer I’d have issues.

I’m no expert but my setup has a more aggressive offset and I barely rub at all at a full left turn only.

Also, what size tire are you running.  The AT4 has a smaller wheel weel opening than the Trail Boss so you cannot run as big of tires.

Yikes, looks like it already chewed up that corner quiet a bit. Looks like the tires are too big for that lift, or the wheels need more offset. Assume you took it to an off road shop... what did they suggest?

As an example, I installed a 6” BDS lift on my RST and used the wheel offset recommended by BDS. I have lots of room with 35x12.5x20 nitto grapplers

So it’s rubbing on the rear portion of the wheel well correct?

tire is a 35x12.5r22 toyo rt 

 

You need different rims/tires or some trimming.  There are 4 sizes listed on the Fabtech site for this lift.  Although it's not marked, the Trailboss is the one that fits the 35x12.5, the 295 width tire is for the AT4.  The wheel wells are smaller as I mentioned earlier.  The Fabtech kit also has a 5" backspacing which your 22x10 doesnt have.  The Rough Country kit accepts your rims offset but not this kit so in reality the best option for those looking to lift the Trailboss/AT4 is the Rough Country kit not the Fabtech one.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
