yeah i would say your rubbing on the control arms not the frame...I would suggest just get some spacers if it is that big of a consern if not how often do you ever turn full lock any ways? i know i sure dont
i turn full lock all the time and i never have a rubbing issue at all. like stated before, i have stock rims with 285's and only diesel springs up front. no spacers on the wheels or anything. so you clearly have some issues going on there that i need to get figured out.
If your Ram has them (and it might) have your tried adjusting your steering stops. These are small bolts with a locknut on them found on your steering knuckles.
Some trucks have them, and some only have the casting lug which can be drilled and tapped.
Ya i got 285/75/16 on my 97 4x4 and i rub the control arms at full lock, i read on a forum somewhere that 265/75/16's dont rub, but i am not sure.
i have had 3 sets of 265/75/16's on my truck and i now stepped it up to 285/75/16. i dont get how you guys are getting your tires rubbing on the control arms. mine dont what so ever. i know i have said it a few times now, but there really shouldnt be a problem.
got some spacers hanging in the shop. think they are .25 thick? dont know if this would be a solution but would be willing to let em go for $20 and shipping.
pm me if interested.
