This makes zero sense
I’ve done 3 rc 2wd spindle lifts already one on a 97 and one on this suburban. I took it off and sold it , decided liked it lifted .. and I’m getting wheel rub on the stock factory rim.
You can see where it’s rubbinf away the paint and grinding on the knuckle. These are 99.9% perfectly machined spindles that’s why I use rc
I don’t know or recall if you can use a 15” wheel on the 2wd or need 16 or larger
I rode my 94 suburban with stock 15s wheels just fine . Is this a thing did I miss something wtf.. this is my daily
Here’s a pic of the wheel off with an identical spare rim to the one with the tires on and it shows the rubbing
The spindles snug everything is correct and the wheel free spinning clears
It’s not only until you back up it cambers and catches the knuckle
And there isn’t any out if round spinning I can see with the wheel and the spindle shaft …
Another theory was the rub mark may just be bad machine work and they left too much ( stock) on the knuckle wasn’t cut back far enough??
Usually I run 20s on these lifts but I sold my moto 20s so this should do it has before .
Another HUGE WT* when I go in reverse after doing the swap the front wheels tilt with a negative camber pretty drastic as I back up slowly ? Can that be from setting the alignment by hand wrong to much ( toe-in) maybe?
As i am slowly reversing it pulls them into a huge ( Neg- camber) ? That’s what I see happening and when I go forward they vertically even back out and sorta go into a slight positive camber lean
I never had this issue before with the spindle lifts I’ve done them many times and all my front components are new or if they aren’t they aren’t worn
See where the spindle gap between the wheel ? And when I back up it eventually rubs ?? How in the he** is that even theoretically possible
New paint rub mark ~>
