Rubbing where exactly? Adding spacers is like increasing wheel offset. Chances are high that if you're rubbing now it'll get worse with spacers.

 

Probably needs an alignment. That should fix your rubbing issues.

 

Exactemundo.

For anyone who might not know, it's not any slight improvement, either. It is a dramatic improvement in overall chassis dynamics.

And it's not just with Bilstein. Fox, King, Icon, etc... all will provide a dramatic improvement in your truck's handling and ability to eat bumps, and depending on price point. Bilstein just does it on a massive scale for less money than the boutique shocks do,

How fast do you wanna go? = $$$

Bilstein does what 85 -90% of F150 owners need doing.

 

@Sikwill well I thought they were rubbing the rear crash bar on the drivers side but now I’m not sure. I put the tires on a day before the level and they rubbed that night in reverse. I was looking at the tire today and the crash bar and thought they still rubbed but now I think those marks were from the first night with no level. I am going to order some 1.25 spacers and see if I can get buy with this, or maybe go down to 1”. Looks like either should fit without trimming studs because of the rear wheel pockets. I love the side look of the truck but looking at it from rear or front doesn’t look right, too much ticker under...

 

2.5in Level kit in the front. Stock rears. 275/70/18 Tires. .25in nose lift after.

 

Looks nice. Tell us about that .25" nose lift.

 

It definitely looks good. HAve someone stand outside your truck when it's moving if you cant figure out where the rub is. It might help. Sometimes the surface you're on makes a difference (uneven or out of level). I hope it works out for you. Did you measure before and after to see how much lift you got from your spacer?

 

I'm thinkin' the "nose lift" was the result of some new, very-slightly-larger tires?

 

Very likely, but, another member awhile back was talking about 1/2" spacers, and this sorta got me curious.

 

Ya.

When I had to decide between the 1.5" and 2" height increase settings to assemble my 6112s, I wished for a .25" increment.

Now that it's installed (at 1.5") I'm happy. Just need another 3/8" - 1/2" height increase at the rear. I don't know if the Roadmaster Active Suspension set to another 1mm preload (for a total of 2mm coil gap) will get what I want.

blah blah blah
