tire rub and drag link issue

Postby fbabo5 » Sun Sep 02, 2012 8:06 am

i was wondering if anyone knew if i used an adjustable drag link on my truck would i be able to use it to adjust something to keep my tires from rubbing on the drag link when i turn the wheel to the right? its got a 2.5" lift in the front with a 2" drop pitman arm and the tires i have on are 35".

NO, you can however adjust the stop bolts on the steering knuckles of the differential to limit the amount of radius travel of the tire. Sounds like you have the wrong offset rims.
