Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

Probably not the struts, it’s the upper control arms that are hitting your wheels without the spacers. I’m running 2” RC, 1.25” spacers, stock size tires and had to remove the brackets behind the fender liners and do a little trimming. Did you remove the brackets?

That’s correct- Control Arms not struts- my bad. Yes, we removed brackets and pushed the felt back. No felt trimming though. I wonder what part of the felt that Westcott pullback kit pulls. I will look to see where the major rubbing was. I have the vehicle with factories back on them now. I might just put the 285/55r22 on and drive for a while and just constantly trim. I dont think I will be happy with 285/50r22 with a 3.5” lift.

Finally finished… 3.5” RC lift 1.25” spacers 285/55R22 Nitto Recon Grapplers. Trimmed and zip tied felt back. Minor rubbing on sharp right turn. Wife is happy so I guess we good. Love the tires!! I have the Ridge Grapplers on my F250 and I think I’m going with the Recon next.

Do you have any shots from front or back showing how the tires line up with the fenders?

@DWSmoot You had less rubbing with 2” lift and no spacers? What made u put spacers? I’m thinking about going down to 2” lift to keep factory control arms and removing spacers. My guy installing thinks that will make the rubbing worse.

Yes more rubbing with the spacers, but I wanted to move the tire away from the control arm a bit as it was close. Also like the look of the stance with the 1.25 Spacers.

Any chance you would be willing to measure the height from ground to top of the wheel well?
