Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Front Tires Rubbing

[RBassetti]

What is the best way to fit LT315 tires on the front of my 2001, so they won't rub? Are spacers the answer? What size? Ray

A 4" lift is about the only way your gonna get them to fit. before i put the lift on mine i had 33's on it a the only way to keep them from rubbing was leveling spacers. If you havent got the 315's(35")and you dont want to lift it i would go with a 33"(305 metric) tire and the leveling blocks. Tim

Ive got 315 bfg mud terrains, and a 2" leveling spacer up front, the only way I can rub them seriously is when a tire is stuffed hard and turned almost full lock. turning into a driveway that has a good bump will rub a lil bit on the plastic on the back part of the inner fender, wich to me isnt a problem and hasnt cut the tire up. if Im driving normal I never rub, but hauling *****, It rubs a lil bit.

Skyjacker D25 coils, Dt adjustable track bar to bring the front axle back to center, Dt +1/2 links to bring the front axle back forward. When you put just spacers on the axle shifts back aprox 1/2" and over to the passenger side aprox 1/2", this will cause more rub on driver side link when full lock turn and if you have mud flaps you'll rub there also. Above mentioned on my truck and I have no rub no how no way, even 4wheeling. Also wheel offset well help, the stock rims will rub more than aftermarkets with proper offset. Also Each truck is different in some way so different combo may work different on each truck etc etc. Dt is what I used at the time, there are other choices out there whatever has some length adjustment. Good luck.

TS brown, nice front bumper and lights, how much did that set you back. Is that a road armor?
