Hey everyone. Got a 1995 Ford F-150 I6 with 6" lift and 33x12.5R15 tires. Just put on the new tires today and sometimes when I turn I hear a scraping noise from them. It's not when at full lock it's like a whole turn from that. Happens on both sides but not every time. Is it the radius arms? Let me know your thoughts and how to fix it. Thanks guys!

 

The radius arms shouldn't rub unless you're at or very close to full lock. Check to make sure your tires aren't rubbing on your gender or front bumper. Put the parking brake on and turn the wheels to about the position you hear rubbing then get under it and look over everything.

 

Lol you right, you right. Very tip of the front bumper. Whacked it off and no more rub! Thanks dude👍🏼

 

Had to trim the bumper and get spacers to fir my 35x12.50 STTs

 

Had a feeling that'd be it lol 👍🏻

 

How have your spacers been? Any problems? What size are they?

 

No issues so far man the are 1.5 inch thick spacers I got from eBay with stud extenders and they are great so far...

 

I've always been scared to run spacers because I've been told they are hard on the axle and decrease bearing life, etc. What are your thoughts?

That's a really nice truck. What are the specs? Lift height? Tire/rim size? Etc.

 

I feel like they do just fine, the ball joints an all haven't been replaced and are holding up fine...

It's a 94 f150 inline 6 built top end
