Why Your Truck Rubs After a Lift or Leveling Kit (And How to Fix It)

One of the most frustrating issues truck owners run into after installing a lift or leveling kit is tire rubbing.

At Lift Pro Customs in Willis, TX, we fix improper wheel and tire setups all the time. Most rubbing issues come down to incorrect fitment rather than the lift itself.


What Causes Rubbing

Rubbing is usually caused by tire size, wheel offset, or suspension setup.

Even if a tire technically fits, it can still rub when turning or going over bumps.


Offset and Tire Size

Wheel offset plays a major role in clearance.

More aggressive offsets push the tire outward and increase the chances of rubbing.

Leveling Kit vs Lift Kit

Leveling kits can fit larger tires, but they offer less clearance than full lift kits.

Lift kits make it easier to run larger tires with fewer issues.


How to Fix Rubbing Issues

Fixing rubbing usually involves adjusting tire size, offset, or trimming in some cases.

A properly planned setup avoids these issues from the start.


Why Proper Setup Matters

A correctly built setup will clear properly and drive better.

At Lift Pro Customs, we make sure every truck is dialed in correctly with no guesswork.
