leaf rubbing issues

rubs the pass side leaf, when i crank hard to the right

doesnt rub when i crank hard to the left..

its minor rubbing and i think 1/2" spacer might cure this problem..are spacers dangerous and unsafe?

i still need to get my allignment done.. maybe my camber/toe is out

i have a SFA 2000 f250 with a 4.5" DR/ICON lift, with 35"toyo A/T, 20" moto metal (4.75backspacing, -18 offset)

ive heard just to adjust my bump stops to limit my steering but id much rather not do that..

With the lift you list in your sig I would say it is an alignment issue.

thanks alot

4.5 lift should clear 35's no problem, plus the wheels have a pretty wide stance already so i wouldnt think i would have this problem.

Check that the axle is centered, you still may need a adj track bar.
