HELP...tire rub with lift and 35" tires

bryan28 · Feb 17, 2016

Update this after you have some drive time with the lift and tires please. I do a majority of highway driving and speed limits are 70 so i usually set the cruise at around 78-80.

Will do, fortunately for you the drive home from the dealership is an hour drive that is all highway. I'm planning on only putting the eco tune on it. I doubt that will really do much in terms of shifting points so I should have some feedback for you.

You pretty much just have a 6 speed now unless you're on flat ground or a downgrade.. It's not bad at all and just expect a -5mpg.

And as mentioned above.. Good luck with your nitto left pull. Just keep both hands on the wheel at all times, you'll be fine.

Nitto left ? Had a set and had zero issues with them.

Some guys have unprotected sex with strangers and don't catch an std (or a kid). Congrats, you're the 1%.

I promise you guys I don't just dream of fun things to make up.

Since you know people here are going to talk about getting ripped off for buying a "mopar" lift why even mention it? It would be better to simply say you got a 4" Superlift which is exactly what it is. I'm not going to bash you for buying your lift wherever you buy it from but others will. So be prepared to deal with the consequences if you decide to mention it.

Well maybe some of us bought the lift for specific reasons, for instance my truck had the lift rims and tires already installed and I got a ridiculous deal on the truck that I couldn't pass up. And to top it all off I still get to keep my warranty while having the look I wanted!
It shouldn't matter what lift people want to put on their truck, it's their truck so it's up to them what they would like to do with it. People like the op shouldnt have to deal with people talking **** about the lift he chooses or the price he pays. We're all grown ups here I'm sure we can start acting like some. Drives me nuts when people talk **** on the forums, were suppose to be here to help each other out.

Not sure why you responded with a ******* **** post like this to me , really not sure what I said to deserve it.
Like I said I did not have any problems with mine and even put a question mark in there about them pulling left because I have not heard of this.

The thing is... These are public. Most people that learn stuff from the forums aren't members. They are simply using google and reading threads (like most don't). So in other words, it's information for everyone, not attacking the op. Some people are just misinformed or scared by the dealership so they can take your $$.

Again, Superlift covers any warranty issues that the dealership "declines".

Was an analogy. Not an attack.

Back to your issue, the 4" w/ bils at factory height mopar/superlift whatever you want to call it can fit 35/12.50r20s with a 5.5 backspacing. You have more than enough clearance so it is most likely something with the alignment

ricky2010hemi · Feb 17, 2016

Generic 4" lift, 1.25" body lift, bils set @ 2.1 wheels are 20x10 -12 offset had no rubbing issues, I threw my 1.75" spacers on and had to trim a bit off the front plastic lower valance due to rubbing while in reverse.

AustinB · Feb 17, 2016

-12mm with 1.75" wheel spacers? (Or body lift?) Thats probably around -50mm offset right? Lol

Definitely a good testament for the op not to having rubbing issues, if that is the case.

Edit: I remember you did the body lift.. I retract this. Did you trim the valance under the bumper? Or are they just that short on the plastic bumpers?

IMO

ricky2010hemi · Feb 17, 2016

Thanks for fixing the pic, sent from my phone and it turned it for what ever reason, yes threw on the wheel spacers after the fact for the extra tire poke I like the look. Not sure what offset that would put me at but they stick out +- 3.5" past the wheel well, and the trimming was off the lower black plastic on the front you can kind of see t in the picture, not much had to be taken off though

AustinB · Feb 17, 2016

Lol dayumm! Yea, its a -50mm

This is a hypocritical comment, as it doesn't answer his question, or give useful information.

Here is some... Superlift covers any warranty work that the dealer refuses.

Sometimes.. But not usually, until someone starts crying... Then they keep up the hypocritical comments, and I'm just compelled to continue until they scream "moderator". At least give the OP some sort of advise, while complaining on the side.

I've had no issues with my trail grapplers. 30k miles on them and still about a quarter tread left so I should be pushing 40k miles in the fall when I plan on replacing them.
