tire rub and drag link issue
 
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".

My friend cut out the bend and I think he put in a shorter piece 4in lift no rub 37s he trusts his welding though did the droparm help at all? Thinking about getting one myself

2 1/2" you can use the stock pitman arm. Might help keep it a little higher on the radius on the tire. Or a wheel with more offset to pull the tire farther out from the draglink. How bad does it rub?

it rubs pretty bad. i lost like the last quarter of a turn of my steering to the right because of it. its rubbed with smaller tires too so im not sure what to do.

Did you put a different offset wheel on with your taller wider tires? I ran Mickey Thompson Classic II's on my '93 w 35's and no rub w about 3 1/2" lift.

no they are still the stock offset
