2.5 RC level - Pro Comp Rear Shocks - 3" Rear Block - 2.5 Goeske Spacers - 275/65 Coopers....

After I had everything put on, the truck would rub the crash bars in counterclockwise reverse ONLY.

Had the tires rotated and balanced before a little road trip last week and now they rub in counterclockwise reverse AND DRIVE?!?!?!

Anybody know why a tire rotation would increase the rub?

The rub in reverse didn't bother me

But hitting the crash bars forward and back is kind of annoying.

Guess I'll have to cut em off?

Don't cut, bend them forward.

Baseball bat between the tire and bar, then pry like a ****....or take wheel off, use wood and a small jack to press them forward.

Its probably because the rear tires are less worn around the edges.

So I'm guessing its the spacers causing the rub. What about a 1.25" spacer or a 1"? What was the stock tire size?

Him and I have a similar set up. 2.5" lift up front, 275/65/20 tires and 1.5" spacers. I only did 2.25" block in the rear but this doesn't affect the issue he is having.

My truck rubbed in reverse as well. It didn't bother me much but it would freak my wife out when she drove it. I ended up trimming them.

The crash bars are a hollow rectangle shape and near the end there is a notch. I used a 4" circular saw to cut along a line from that notch. Made a relief cut at the bend in the crash bar. Basically removed one side of the crash bar. Used a grinder to smooth out the edges and painted the silver to black. No more rubbing.

My tires were brand new when I did everything so I'm hoping after a rotation I don't experience the same thing.
