No problem

What lift do you have? To me you look maxed out already. Maybe look into 2" lift spindles and decrank the bars to the tune of an inch thus still leaving you an inch higher then now Someone with more lift experience on these needs to look at these.

Hey i was looking around for lift spindles but i can only find them for 2WD Tahoes. Mine is a 01 Z71 4WD.
Any help?

And what offset would you recommend for new wheels?

Call and ask them, they are probably the same as trucks.

if you have recently replaced your tires and are now having a steering, handling or tire-related problem, it could be a bad tire. The underlying cause may be a manufacturing defect that took time to make itself noticeable, or it could be the result of structural damage to the tire caused by a pothole or improper mounting. inspect the tires carefully for obvious tread or sidewall defects such as cuts, bulges, ripples, bruises, scrapes, missing chunks of tread, separations, cracks, etc. Uneven tread wear may indicate misalignment, under or overinflation or a tire construction defect.a belt that is out of position more than one millimeter may cause a steering pull on some vehicles. The position of the outermost belt is the most important because it has the greatest effect on directional stability. Though vibrations are usually caused by an out-of-balance wheel and tire assembly, it is important to remember that vibrations can also be caused by excessive radial (vertical) and lateral (sideways) runout in the tire, wheel or hub. Loose, worn or damaged wheel bearings as well as certain kinds of tread wear can also cause annoying vibrations

Good info but he is only experiencing rubbing from his tires being to large and none of those symptoms.

Thanks man, but my tires are about done, they're as far away from new as possible. I appreciate the info though.

Hey Yates, if i get 35x14.50x17 tires will it fix the problem? Or will it still scrub because of the width increase.
I currently have 36x13.50x17

Lift spindles are for 2wd only! Either +0mm offset or a +12mm offset with stop the scrub. I still say order lift keys and then try clearance. The +12 will def clear but may sit to far under the truck for your preference. The +0mm will still need trimming. The tire is the problem but can work with +12, or smaller tire and keep the rims.

I did not realize they would not make one for a 4x4
