Going down....?

[krazed22]

Alright all got a few quick questions. First I have an 07 QC Thunderroad. I'm getting ready to drop it (From all your opinions I decided on the McG spindle kit). I have one problem. I'm running 22x10 SRT-10 wheels. They already rub in the front at full lock. Anyone running 22's on a 2\4? Got any rubbing problems? Do I really need to shell out for 22x9's? Any info will help.

Also, anyone find a good sway bar kit? Is it worth it?

what size tires are u running?

 

[Bigtman07]

Welcome good sir. Several guys here are running SRT's they will chime in soon. Sounds like a nice truck. Go ahead and introduce yourself.

I have 22s and I just bought the same exact kit. I don't think it should rub unless the tires are too big, my tires are like low pro's

 

[krazed22]

I'm running 305/40's
I could probably go to 295 or 285 but I don't want to leave the rim lip exposed too much.

 

[HemiBabe]

That's what I'm runnin is 305 40s, I don't get how your tires are rubbing right now lol I still have tons of room. Is your truck already lowered?

 

[Trupiano]

Welcome to RF dude! Hmm, you shouldn't have a problem. I haven't heard anyone having a problem with the srt-10 rims.

Welcome, Another Virginian!

As far as I can tell it's stock. Rubs on the sway bar in the front.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

When was the front end aligned? Sounds like your camber is off it your rubbing sitting at stock height.

 

[krazed22]

I'll get it checked but it's not tracking or wearing at all. Anyone got a stock height measurement?

 

[krazed22]

Alright so the last few months have been hell! Some worthless mutt stole the wheels off my truck! I FINALLY got the truck back after a month and half of waiting!

So I called the local dealer about the alignment issue (If there is one). They told me $300+! Said I need a camber kit ($100+ for 4 bolts, nuts, and washers), $99.95 for the alignment, and an hour labor @ $104.50.

Anyone had to install a camber kit before on there truck or is this BS? Please keep in mind I'm not lowered yet! I have to kit on order but I want to get this rubbing issue fixed first.

 

[HemiBabe]

OMG that sucks about your wheels!

Are you going to lower it with coils in the front or the spindles? I'm not quite sure about the camber kit.... i wouldnt think you would need that with only a 2/4, only if you went lower like a 4/6 but I could be wrong...?

Oh yeah, and you were rubbing with the 22 SRT wheels, right?

 

[quietpeen]

wow sorry to hear that you had your wheels stolen. what did you replace them with?

 

[krazed22]

I'm going with the spindles. McG 2\4.5 kit. Yea they got my SRT-10 wheels. Insurance finally took care of everything. Got the same wheels (Chrome SRT-10) and some Nittos. Loving the tires so far. btw DO NOT DEAL with LA Wheel! Took them a month to ship my wheels.

Hoping I don't need a camber kit. Save me $200+

 

[HemiBabe]

Ok, I have the same exact kit you are getting, and my truck is just fine, I didnt get an alignment or camber kit and it drives perfectly fine so I would say dont worry about it

 

[quietpeen]

if you find you are still having rubbing issues, you could try running 1/4" spacers

I have a 3/5 drop, with the srt 22x10 wheels and 305-40-22 Nittos. They rub. I think even at a 2" drop they would. I have some 285-45-22's waiting to be installed, should take care of a lot of that.
