    Do you get a lot of outside tire wear?


    The reason I ask is because my procomp lift really wears out my front tires. The procomp lift and some others have you cut the tierods because their knuckle's steering arm is moved in to create wheel clearance. I am trying to find some knuckles that will correct this. It looks like the RC lift doesn't require you to cut the tierods or install shorter ones so it shouldn't affect the ackerman angle. Just wanted to check with anyone who has the RC 6 inch lift.

    At this time no I don’t. I have about 2,000 miles on lift and tires. But I will double check mine tomorrow.

    You 4wd? If so, this kit requires cutting of rear crossmember at both ends, my self and couple other members have the older lift kit version that didn't have our RCM cut at all, the newer kit does as per their instructions

    Sorry about that so you have a PC lift. Far as I know for other folks with RC lift no issues with the tires. This has come from the place I had my lift put and the dealer that sells lift Tundra. That’s one reason I didn’t go with PC. The place that did the aliment also states the PC was bad about the outside of the tires dip and wear crazy. Good luck

    I have been running a ProComp stage 1 for the last 5 years. No outside tire wear. 2 days ago, I removed the Procomp spacers and replaced with a Rough Country N3 strut utilizing the OEM coil. Alignment shows fine and drives smooth and normal.

    Roger that, I ran the stage one with a spacer for almost 5 years with no outside tire wear. I’m thinking maybe your bushings might be worn. Hope that helps.
