Rubbing issue.

[Heezy]

Just got my Ford performance lvl kit put on with 265/70/17 falken wildpeaks and the truck is rubbing when cranked all the way to the right but not left. The picture shows where. Is this normal or a bad installation job?

Rubbing the sway bar? That's a first I've ever heard of this with any setup...

It seemed weird to me to I’m thinking it may be a installation problem but am not knowledgeable enough to know for sure.

What wheels are you running?

Did you change to wheels with greater negative offset than stock?

Can those sway bars be adjusted?

LT "E" rated or regular "SL" rated tires?

I ask because the LT "E" rated tire is 31.9" and the "SL" rated is 31.7". Also, which Wildpeaks? A/T Trail, A/T3W, M/T, H/T, H/T02?

The tire pictured on the Ford Performance Rangers are the BFGoodrich KO2 that are 31.6". Maybe it's enough to make a difference.

They’re the at3w 115t sl rated tires. Maybe a spacer would work?

I really don't think they should rub. I wouldn't throw spacers on there without understanding why they are rubbing first. Spacers might just make them rub somewhere else.

Could it be a bad install?

I don't know. Have you had it aligned?

They said they did but maybe that’s the issue? I’ll call them tomorrow and see what they say.

It could be that the caster on the one side is off. Which allows that tire to make contact with the sway bar

Is that the alignment?
