Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "Clearing 31 in. A/T's", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
First post here, I've got a 2006 Black 2WD double cab that I just put 17 in. Mickey Thompson Classic 2's with 31 in. BFG A/T's around them along with 3/4 inch spacers. My only problem is that the tires rub when I turn them from a little bit past 3/4 of the way. I see that Tough Country makes spacers that would level the front end, raising it up about 2 inches. I know that this would probably help clear the tires but is there anything else that I should look at to help clear the tires. I'd like to stay fairly inexpensive, they say that the spacers are only around $140.
But then this brings me to my next problem, this truck is a lease. So I'm not sure if those spacers are a permanent type of thing. I'll probably end up buying the truck at the end of the lease, but I sure would like to get a 4X4 Taco after the lease is up in about 2 years.
31's are rubbing? That seems kinda strange, I'm thinking the wheels might have to do with it.
The spacers are not permanent. If you can put them in yourself, you can take them out. Go for it. MUCH better solution to go with spacers than a new coilover.
Although the new bilstein shocks might be a good idea as well, $200 I think.

You could remove those 3/4" spacers. By adding those, you moved the tire out and also increased the scrub radius, increasing the chance of rubbing. Trimming would also be another free way to solve the problem. Spacer lifts are relatively inexpensive, but you may want to check out the new bilsteins that lift 1.5".
