rubbing on the leaf springs??

fordpower21 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-19-2009, 12:50 PM

(2001 f250, 7.3) I replaced my stock 2001 wheels with the new 2009 20’ inch rims. I am having a problem with both front wheels rubbing the leaf springs. Does anyone have an idea how I can avoid the rubbing without an expensive lift?

thanks

Yup, a lift won't cure it. THe problme is the BS for newer trucks differs form that of the leaf spring models.
