Is your truck matte black!?!? It looks sick. But I have heard of that happening to a few ppl with other lifts as well. When manufacturer contacted they said it wasn't hurting anything. Get bigger tires so they rub on the sway bar before you hit your LCA:)

I assume he means the wear on the lower control arm.

I'm just guessing lol. I didn't mean to sound smart a$$ haha.
I don't have that problem though because my tires scrub my sway bar way before contact there.

lol nah man your good!

figured the OP would be more specific about his problem (or even atleast say what his problem is lol) and then describe noises, vibrations, etc. so we could help him more.

I hate playing detective....

lower control arm is getting cut of or wearing , there is a small cut there .
sorry I thought its clear in the pic . the noise that am getting is when am turning and there is a hole or a bump on the road , I can hear 2 mettle scratching . it doesn't happen all the time and the wear is only on the drivers side . tell now .
about the color , yes its matte black my favorite color also , I didn't do a paint job . only I wrapped it .

Bigger tires to rub on sway bar instead or possibly rig up a turn stop!
