Lowering front troubles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got my truck lower (did it myself). 2 1/2 spindles & cut one coil. Heard some noise in the front. Turns out to be tie rod hitting the the rim on hard turns. What do I do ?? Narrower front rims, 1/8/1/4 spacers ?? Looking for input. Thanks

How much backspacing on your front wheels?
What diameter?

More than likelyy you need to grind a little off you lower drip rails on the control arms.
