I just put on my 285/75/16 Itercos I took off 265/75/16 AT tires.

Im putting on the bidy lift next week. However, I am getting tire rub on the frame at full turn on the inside. I dont think the body lift is gonna fix this, will it?

The rims are not stock. they are Soft 8s and came off a 02 ranger with body lift. I measured the back spacing and it is the same as the stock rim. So, what can I do? Can I run spacers?
 






The body lift won't change where the frame sits, But if you haven't done it yet, a shackle lift and torsion twist might be enough to clear.
 






I don't think a TT is going to have anything to do with his rubbing.. I would go spacer but I'm sure there's someone on here with a better solution.
 






looks like the only option is a spacer. I already did a TT and a AAL, so I can go much higher. Plus the rubbing is on the sway bar, so the only fix is gonna a spacer.

Will .75 inch do much harm to the front end?
Does it matter if I use the basic spacer or is it better to get the spacer with the stud on it?
