do i need an alignment or is there something else that would cause this? only rubs when i turn as sharp as it will go one way or another.

 

you just need 1/4 wheel spacers up front.

 

i know the brake line bolt catches on 4x4 models for the 15x8's, would the spacer be enough on a 2wd for the control arms and everything you think?

 

ya i had the same problem with the brake bolt but i got around it. and i was realy hopping i wouldnt need spacers ive herd nothing but bad things about them and i cant afford good ones

 

oh and i realy dont know if this is a dumb question or not but could i grind the tie rod ends down a tiny bit cause it cant take much grinding to resolve this.

 

^ Seconded and not so much a dumb question as trying to avoid wheel spacers, is there an easy way to do this so 2nd gen wheels work as factory on gen1 2wd?

 

I never put on 2nd generation rims on so I don't have much input. Maybe grinding the tie rod a bit might be okay but without seeing how much it needs or how much you grind off I don't know if it would be okay. Next option is just to restrict your turning limits.

 

thank you i will look into restricing the turning i apreciate the help

 

ha! grinding down the parts that keep you in line going down the road.... good idea!!!!! i think i'd spend the money and get spacers. it's just a 1/4 inch. hurts nothing having a 1/4 inch spacer. i've got 2nd gen rims all the way around. truck regularly sees over 100mph when i get it out. no problems.

 

I'm looking at the same issue. ricekiller what spacers did you get and where?
Thanks
