    Alright internet geniuses. I just bought some 17" Method 305s (0 offset) and 35x12.5 tires and I am rubbing on both my body mount (bmc has already been done) AND the body beside it. I also have a 2.5" lift on the front. What do I need to do to fix this? I have read a bit about castor adjustment, but I don't understand what that does or how far to go. Thanks in advance.

    No, I am running Icon tube uppers, with a Stage 5 kit. Everything should work, I have seen others do it, but mine is not. I am stumped.

    You're not running wheel spacers any longer are you?

    Caster moves your wheels (and tires) forward = away from the cab mount. So if you get it aligned someplace that has a computer and only can get it to “factory specs” you’ll rub. Go to place that uses a laser... or old fashioned experience... get caster as close to +4 as possible, then work to get the camber and toe as close to spec as can be done, keeping caster high.

    Damn. I'm trying to think of what could cause it to still rub after the mount chop.

    Yeah same. All the research says it should clear. And I definitely shouldn't be rubbing the body itself with 35s
