I lowered my truck 2 in the front and 4 in the rear. It lookes great and all, but the new tires rub the little brake line holder. In the pic its the golden color thing. The wheels are 02 L, so everythinig should fit, but doesn't. If anyone has a suggestion on what to do to fix it, that would be great.

can't get picture??

 

sorry,

 

thats really wierd mine is supposed to be -3 in the front and i have 20x9 inch rims and get no rubbing ????i know it sounds crude but can that bracket be bent in a little towards the frame??

 

Its actually the bolt that rubs. If they were 20's, it would be another 1" farther out (no rubs) I tried filling the bolt a little, but it still rubs. What actually rubs is the RIM, not the tire. Now I rarely turn it all the way locked, so not much rub occurs any more.

 

oh yea, Its the bolt on the bracket on the lower control arm.

 

hey phillip , dont fret all you have to do is unbolt the bracket and take the bolt out and cut it off so that it fits in the chanel , all your doing is moving the bracket to the inside of the chanel on the lower controll arm. its the bolt head that rubs the rim, the l rims are 9.5 wide and if you put them on a reg f150 all they do is rub the bolt head. had to do the same to mine. Ill take a pic and show you.
