PRG mini Lift kit problem...

R3.Pro-4X · 03-07-2008, 10:23 PM

may i have done something wrong? Got back today from installing the kit over at a friends, we installed the front blocks on the coilovers and decided not to put the back ones cuz i liked the way it looked leveled off..... Everything seemed fine till i left. I reversed out and turned the wheel hard over to the left, and got some rubbing. Either way i turn it, it rubs and seems like its impacting a bit harder on bumps. any ideas, or solutions to fix this problem? my friend told me just to get some wheel spacers to get the room to turn and what not...but i dont know?

please help

Did you have this problem before you put the spacers on? You sure its your tires thats rubbing? If you didn't have this problem before I don't see how adding a spacer would affect this.

thats what i was thinking, i didnt have any problems before i put them on. but i can seem to see why it would rub....

I agree, the spacer wouldn'tcause anything to rub. You will just have to turn the wheel so you hear the noise and get under there and see if you can find something.

Is there any markings on the inner liner showing the tire rubbing

its kinda hard to see cuz it was done at night...im gonna check it first thing in the morning but i think it has to do with the a-arm... I really love the way it looks with its new stance so i hope i can find the problem.

Sounds like the saway bar flipped during the installation. Take a pic of the front of the truck. Its easy to tell, if there is a big bar hanging down that wasnt there before, well, that is the flipped sway bar. Use a floor jack on one end of the bar and "lift" it into place. It will resist a bit then pop inot position. You may have damaged the endlinks (they will be a "v" shape instead of straight and will need to be replaced).

If it is the swaybar as Greg had mentioned,here are some right and wrong pics and another endlink link.
Endlinks different
the first pic the sway bar is flipped the second pic is how it should look.

on the first pic you can see some scrape damage right on the end of that bar behind the bolt, thats where the rim is rubbing on the bar.

Dude your sway bar is flipped. DO NOT drive it like that.
it doesn't look like the end links are bent so just pop em back per Greg's instructions and should be OK

This happened becasue the installer didnt follow the instructions and disconnect the sway bar from the lower a-arm.

yea i was watching them do it and they jus kinda skimmed through the instructions, i followed the instructions you guys gave me on this thread and was able to pop back in to place, I LOVE IT its still has the factory ride and looks even better. thanks Greg

That picture is kind of dark. Would you mind posting a couple more. I've got the same truck and would love to see how your's looks.
