Need help knuckle hitting control arm

Texas2016 · Jan 29, 2016

Hey guys I need your help! Just bought my 2014 1500 4x4 two weeks ago and the dealer had put a rough country 6 inch lift on it running 20x9 wheels with 35x12.50 tires. Love the truck rides very smooth, but when I turn real wide I was hearing a pop noise. After further inspection underneath this is what I found.

It's on both sides what should I do? Do I need aftermarket arms? Or should I make my warranty company fix this I purchased the highest warranty that covers everything need your help ?

Couple different routes you could take here.

Did you purchase the lift through the dealer? Or did you just have them install it?

Did they already have the lift on before you bought it?

Are they aftermarket wheels?

Lift tires and rims were on when I bought it they had just put it all on a week before I bought it. Wheels are xd badlands

Take some pics of your wheels. Side, front .. How far do they protrude past the fenders?

What can I do?, I'm going to call warranty company Monday because if I need different arms or something else it should be covered since I have not changed anything since I bought it

Ok I'll take some real quick

Ok so what are my options

Since you just bought it two weeks ago from a dealer, this is the dealer's fault. I'd have them fix it.... should have been caught by them to begin with.

What needs to be done to fix this different control arms?

AustinB · Jan 29, 2016

^ this is exactly true, and what I was going to say.. But you need to know what the problem is to know if they fixed it properly

My first guess is backspacing.. They only make those wheels in 18mm and -12mm offset. They "appear" to be -12 by looking at those terrible blurry pictures. Which shouldn't be and issue.

But if they are in fact the 18mm offset, that puts you at 5.71" bsm. That cheap ass rcx kit requires a minimum of 5.5" bsm.. Which would make perfect sense as to why you're hitting.

Right I need to know what needs to be done so I know they fix it right
