Got the heavier springs installed and a semi-agressive 44 mile ride on them. Still some rub on the rear tires but much less. It actually rides bumps and handles better all around this way.

What offset wheel are you running and tire width. You may need a 4+2 or 4+3 offset with wide square profile tires to avoid rubbing.

The rub is the rear tires so the offset really isn't a factor, but they are 5+2 front and rear.

Tire size 30x10x14 with a square profile vs oem rounded may need to add 1" spacers to rear. If all 4 wheels are 5+2 offset the rear is 2" narrower than the front. Or put 4+3 offset wheels on rear for correct track front to back.

That should also negate the spring rubbing. OEM offset on wheels is 30mm front and 50mm rear (26mm being approx 1")

Like @JACKAL said, get spacers to fix the track and your set.

I have spacers. No tracking issues. The rub is simply the top of the rear tire hitting the bed. The only cure is smaller tires or slow down.
