On my 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4 I have Falken Wildpeak LT295/60R20 126/125R tires. When I turn sharply the right front rubs loundly.

Do I need a leveling kit?

Thanks

You should have a reputable shop check out the entire situation. What you need to do depends on what the tire is rubbing on and the correction could entail multiple actions. Don't just throw money at it hoping the fix happens. Spend the money in the right place. Good luck.

That tire is nearly 2” taller than stock size, so quite a bit difference for a stock truck. Crawl under there and see what its rubbing on. If just the wheel well liner, its possible it can be pulled back out of the way with some zip ties. Im sure a leveling kit would prevent rubbing also.

Tough to say. I have a 5" lift with 35x12.50 tires and I still get some rubbing when turned hard to the right.
