I own a 14' 2500 Outdoorsman Crewcab with 6.7l, currently has 5" Rough Country lift, sitting on 37x12.50x22 wheels/tires. Looks awesome, but I have a problem, my tires rub while turning, due to the backspace of the wheels. My question...is there a coil spring spacer (2-2.5") available that can be used with the Rough Country lift? This should solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Do the rough country 2500 lifts use coil spacers like their 1500 lifts?

It’s not usually recommended to “stack” spacers.

Me personally I would get some "Bora" 2" wheel spacers. That should cure the problem

I agree, don't "stack" spacers on an existing lift. Honestly going up another 2-2.5" on top of a 5" I think you are running in to a lot more then just throwing a spacer at it. You will probably need longer shock's, trackbar drops or extended (both), all kinds of stuff. Would probably be cheaper and less detrimental to the truck to get rid of the wheels and get something that doesn't stick out so far? Or go with a 35" tire?
Probably not what you want to hear but there is no cheap way of doing that kind of lift correctly (not unless you want a bunch of problems)

His wheels stick out too far already, that's why they rub.

The lift doesn't use spacers, it just relocates the spring bucket down 5" for the lift. Oh boy, not what I wanted yo hear.

.. 5” lift and 37”s rub...
stock 20” wheels with a Lvling kit on that truck with 1.5” spacers clear 37”s all day long. The cheapest best solution is to change Wheel size. Not tires, because the 37”s arnt a issue, it’s your offset/ Back spacing on the wheels you are using. No need to go higher. Here give this a read... you can run 37”s on 17” up to at least 20” that I know of as long as you have the correct wheel.
