Did my rancho suspension lift drop?
Did my rancho suspension lift drop?
About 11 months ago I had my level kit removed and a rancho 4" suspension lift with the. 9000XL series shocks. The shocks are adjustable but set on the middle setting. No automatic compressor attached. After the lift was installed, I had my 325/60/20 duratracs added on my stock rims with virtually no rub at full lock. 2 months ago which happened to be the same time it got cooler here on central Texas, tires started rubbing on the front plastic skirting when turning, more during reverse than forward and more than before at full lock. Tires still inflated to 40psi. Minimal tread wear. No apparent difference to either side. 09 4x4 king ranch

I remember seeing pictures of your truck and being amazed that those 13" wide tires weren't rubbing all over your UCAs. The only think I can think of that would change with respect to the rubbing of plastic is settling of the springs, but that's just a random guess. If anything your tires should be getting shorter!
Do the sidewalls relax over time and cause more bulge? Something to do with tire width vs wheel width? Just guessing at this point. Maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in. Hope you can find a resolution, your truck looks great.
