Hey guys my name is Don I am new here and hoping to get some help!!! I have a 2005 super crew that is lowered with I think a 2 in front and 5 in back I bought the truck lowered from the dealership in town. I just bought 24's with 305 35 24 tires and the back is rubbing and this is where I need help!!!

the back has a flip kit and the guys at the local shop said I had to go back to stock to fix my rubbing problem what do you guys think???

the front is fine where it is at just need 1 or 2 inches in the back check out the picture and let me know what you think!!!

thanks guys!!!

 

WHERE are you guys??? I am finding all kinds of info on everything but this flip kit I have on my truck help a brother out!!! I am like when my tires rub at 647$ each LOL

 

Rubbing where? Against the shocks? Leafs? wheel wells? any of the above might be an issue with back spacing, if too much. A pic of the exact spot might help. I just looked up those tires and their 32.5" x 12" thats a good size tire to drop the rear 5". Are you rubbing when you hit bumps? Got to be close to having the tire go inside the wheel well if not already there.

 

the back tires are rubbing on the top of the fender in the bed I tried to take pictures but it is to dark out tonight!!!

the truck will drive but if I hit a bump or hard corner they rub I have the flip kit in the back and need to figure out a way to get 1 inch or so of clearance!

 

I dont think your method of lowering the truck is the problem as much is the amount it's lowered in the rear. The tire width/backspacing/rim width might be the problem. Does it sit level? Are you happy with the stance? Raising it an 1" might not give you the look you want. Problem is that you have pricey rims/tires that are compromising your set up but are something you need to work with. So the top of the tire (surface that makes contact with the road) is rubbing and not the sidewalls?

 

it is hitting the side wall of the tire not the top as far as look I dont mind if it goes up maybe 1-2 inches I was reading about the add a leaf would that work???

my rims are 35 offset so there isnt much I can do there I really need 1 inch of clearance!!!

 

Right, you can lift the rear an inch or so with a different shackle or add a leaf. I'd try a lift shackle first.

 

get some insanely stiff rear shocks lol wut id do ..........

thats just the redneck in me tho...

 

Had the same problem. You could get rear airbags or get a kit with a 4" rear drop. I went with the 4" rear leafs but want to lower it more so I will get the rear bags.

 

thanks for the info guys I think I am going with the airbags in the rear I tow a boat as well and those will make it alot better for any type or load!!!

hopefully I can get some pictures of my custom 2005 2 tone f150 it has custom blue paint on the top of the cab and black under body and it looks cool!!!

hopefully this week I can get them online!!! thanks guys!!!

 

cheapest way would be getting a 1 or 2 inch lift shackle.

And no putting stiff shocks will not raise a vechicle. unless they are so large that they are bottomed out and still too tall for the application. Shocks have nothing to do with ride hight. You can actually take all 4 shocks out of a truck, and it wouldnt sit any differently. You would notice it when you start driving and it bounces, and keeps bouncing.
