Lift to high UCA's rubbing springs

[ajferreira17]

So I have the truck at the shop, the combination of Coils and shocks/struts is too high and the UCA's are rubbing against the coil, and they can't get the alignment straight, will replacing the UCA's alleviate this problem? The shop manager is recommending taller spindles but has no clue where he could get them from. Plus the Nitto 285/70R17's are rubbing the fenders and can barely get 4" of turn and that is with 1.5 inch spacers......

Well from your sig you say that you're doing a ready lift AND OME 885s, dude....You can't do that....

Forgot to change sig, sent back the ReadyLift went with suspension.

Trim the fender.

I would loosen the control arm-to-frame bolts (all 4) and keep the spindle bolted on to do this install.

Once weight is back on the control arms it will fit.

Good Luck

As for alignment. To get it within spec again I'm pretty sure you will need aftermarket UCA's. Hell you might even need them anyway.

After doing some more research on it I totally agree, I have ordered the UCA's should be here tomorrow.
