tire rub

[clokey]

i have a 1997 f250 superduty diesel. it has about a 10 inch lift with 37" toyo's. the tires rub on the leaf springs, im buying wheel spacers to bring them out, what is the wheel spacing on my truck? 8X170mm or 8X6.5? do you think 1 inch spacers are enough?

i don't know what the specs are on the on the 8x?. but dont forget that when you go from stock to larger tires that you need to adjust the turn stops. its a bolt that you need to loosen and tighten the nut stop at the same time. yours should also be located just under the calipers on both the front spindles or front axle ends(i don't know the exact term). you will also loose some of your turning radius, however, tires won't rub anymore.

thanks a lot, i will do that for now. but eventually i do want to get spacers so i het my turning radius back
