Okay, just got my lift and wheels put on this morning, and I'm stoked. The setup looks sweet, except I'm getting minor rubbing on the bottom tip of my lower plastic valence. It only seems to happen in reverse for some strange reason, but it rubs nonetheless. Personally, I'm not gonna let something as trivial as this get me down, but I figure I better try to find a solution.

My lift is 6" Procomp stage 1.
My tires are Toyo MT 35/12.5r20
My wheels Procomp 7005 20" 9.5

From what I understood, all of this should be compatible without trimming, but I'm guessing the backspacing is an issue. Could someone elaborate on what the backspacing is, and how do I fix the rubbing.

 

Post pics of the set up dood!

 

*bump*

I've tried search, but I can't seem to find any more useful tips explaining why my tires are rubbing.

 

It looks like you have plenty of room there. Are you sure that's where it's rubbing?

 

Mine rubs in the front and in the back. I took a dremal to the front and have no issues but the back still rubs while turning. Its even worse when pulling into my drive way (load on shock). I was thinking of getting my caster set a little more forward but I may just need to cut some more fender well.

 

backspacing is how far the rim tucks inward so a 4.5" backspace would stick out further than a 5.5 backspace. im sure the 9.5" wide wheel is the issue, just trim it nice and the front should rub, but by the look at those pics those shouldnt rub IMO

 

If it is rubbing the plastic valance and it annoys you, then just trim the valance like many other trucks on this site. It is a simple fix.

 

I agree. Just trim a little plastic off the valance.

 

I had the same problem(only when turning while hitting a bump). Just trim the back part where its rubbing a bit and it will be done, very easy and it fixes the problem.

 

In that first picture, i am looking at where the lower a-arm bolts into the front crossmember and i see a big gap, it almost looks like there needs to be a spacer in there or something, is this right? i have never looked at a newer body style f150 up that close before, so this may be normal. i am just curious
