Info: Need some height on the GMC

[aggar]

Ok on my work truck, 04 cclb 4x4 lly. I put on some 16x10 rims with some 285/75/16 fierce attitude tires. They rub harder when turning left. They're rubbing the metal at the back by the cab. I've got the bars cranked most of the way up. Would different keys help me get more clearance to get rid of the rub? also with different keys would I need to get some blocks for the back as well? IT's a work truck so i don't want to go with a full blown suspension lift. It would be very impractical. Thanks.

Green keys and 1-1.5" lift block will set you straight along with some homemade shock extenders

look on flea bay, they have 3" kits for 150.00, keys,shock mounts and blocks and bolts for rear.

Why not just trim the fender a lil bit and be done with it? Easier/cheaper than green keys.

i have 285s and i just cranked up the bars (yes i know it hard on the front end) but i didnt change keys or anything just bought the longer bilstines shocks no rubbing just had to trim the back side of inner fenders and the front bumper

If the front shocks are almost maxed or the uca is almost on its bumpstop, keys wont do squat. I hope ride quality and lomgevity of suspension parts arent something your concerned about

I've been looking at the cognito Uca kits. I'm just wanting to know if the lift keys and Uca kit along with shock extenders will give me a little more room than just cranking the bars? I have trimmed all the plastic I can trim. The rest is metal.

Sledge hammer may be how I can solve part of it but would still like to raise it a little. I do also need to put some flares on because these 10" wide wheels stick way out there. This truck didn't have flares when I bought it.

grind/cut/beat the pinch weld behind the fender liner. You can get another inch of clearance in there easily. I'm running 305 fierce attitudes with stock keys not quite cranked all the way. I had to cut my front bumper back a little also, but I have a chevy so i don't know how different they are. I don't have any blocks in the rear and it sits level.

i had a feelin that question was comin next :hug:. Everyone has this misconception that the cognito UCAs for leveled trucks is ment for you to crank the truck even higher. thats not what they are intended for. they are designed for you to level the truck as you would with any other truck and no more. their purpose is to give you a close to or same ride as factory while cranked up, not to allow you to crank the front end up more.

So, i know you got some pics of the truck up but can you give me a few of the UCA and the space between it and the bumpstop? also, a pic of how much angle is on the CV? if you get that up, ill know exactly if you can or cant crank the front more without hurting stuff.

Sounds like maybe some keys, blocks and a sledge hammer.
