With wheel spacers it will rub the body and with out it will obviously rub the control are. The way I got rid of rubbing on my truck was after market control arms.

Ah, yes I see. I figured you were rubbing the body, my bad.

The spacers will fix the control arm rub, but make sure that it will not cause the tires to rub on the body (back side of the front fender). Turn the tires to full lock and see how much room you have from the tire contacting the fender. You will have to hit a happy medium. I would personally rather have my tire rubbing the control arms rather than the body, but thats just me (although no rubbing is the best).

I take it you are using stock wheels?

yeah fully stock wheels.... if i went to new rims i would jsut want to go with real good rims ie. expensive rims... the ones i would want would be the MT classic locks... i do plan on putting lift into the truck... so that would take care of any body rub i may have in the future
