    hi all, new member first post. Recently lifted tundra with readylift 3"/2" spacer, block kit. Getting some minor tire rub at full tilt (parking spots) with 18" wrapped in mastercraft courser MXT 265/70/18 in front wells. Any quick suggestions on how to eliminate this problem, without welding in a curved bracket?? Also having a tough time getting alingment, alignment shop recommended upper control arms, but not sure of what brands/type recommended for such lift??? Any help appreciated!

    Welcome. What's your wheel offset? Where exactly is it rubbing?

    Welcome! UCAs will def help with alignment issues. General rule is any lift 3" and greater should be accompanied with UCAs. There are many good UCA options out there depending if you want a ball joint or uniball, which will also drive the price. All depends on what you plan to do with your truck.

    Believe it's a 12mm offset on the wheels and also running a 2" spacer off the hub. Rubs on bottom plastic above small mud guard front and rear of tub on fronts depending on angle. Have heard of heating and pushing in??

    If it is a 12mm offset, you probably don't need the wheel spacers. Probably get rid of the rub by removing the spacers.
