I own a 93 w-250 4x4 with Dana 44 up front. I have 265/75/16 one tire size up from stock on the front axle. I was going to put 285/75/16 on but noticed that the 265's were rubbing on the drag link when I was turning right. I know a loose upper ball joint can have something to do with this but all of it? Even if the ball joint was tight I believe a bigger tire would still hit. The tires wear fine so i don't think it is an alignment problem.

I know my 82 Ramcharger has 35's on it and it doesn't rub the drag link so what else could it be? My 86 Chevy truck with loose upper ball joint doesn't rub the drag link. Very frustrating
any help would be appreciated

Stock or stock offset wheels? Turning radius the same left and right?

 

stock wheels wheel bearings tight 1\4 turn more to right but still? Maybe between the two is enough? Someone said sagging springs could that be it? Someone said adjust stops but if I do that I would really have to lose some turning radius with 285/75/16 tires. Keep asking thanks.
