Rubbing On Upper Control Arm

[Jack Gibbs]

I just installed a three inch level and Freedom Offroad Upper Control Arms on my 2017 Chevy Silverado. My stock tires are rubbing against the upper control arm at full wheel lock. I'm sure I will need spacers to correct this but I am not sure what size. I know I will be getting some 33 inch all terrains soon as well. Has anyone had this problem or know a "no-rub" setup?

What size is your stock wheel you are running? I have rough country control arms and I rubbed with the 18'' wheels. Rough country states that you will need a .25'' spacer to avoid that or else get new wheels with a different offset.

My stock wheel is the high country 20' inch wheels. Im thinking a 0.5 to 1 inch spacer

Ok, yea if you want to keep those wheels you will need a spacer. Like I said I have Rough Country uppers arms and they require .25. When I did my lift, I did wonder had I used a different control arm would it still rub, and you pretty much answered that for me. I opted for new wheels with a different offset. I consulted with the main financial advisor in the house and she didn't give me a NO so new wheels it was.
