Prevent Scrubbing
How do you prevent scrubbing on a 2wd f150 if you lift it and put 33's on it?
Need help

I'd live with the scrubbing before I used wheel spacers. What rims and tires are you using?

Because I'd rather have the tires rub slightly than have to put up with vibration.
And, Southernman09 you still havn't told us what year truck you have. If it's a 97-09 F-150 4x2, you can fit a 33 inch tire with only a leveling kit using the OEM wheels or an 8 inch wide wheel with the same backspacing as the stock wheels.
