rotors rubbing on lower control arms

Im have a problem, Ive dropped my truck 4\6. im running 20's all around and i just installed a wilwood big brake kit in the front. I pulled it out the garage and I could hear grinding. the lower control arms are grinding against the rotors. I havent got it aligned yet. Could that be the problem? Please help

Same issue. 5/8 drop with 14" wilwoods. I just ground down the lca. It didn't take much. Just turn your wheel and make sure you you get it all in one shot

Re: rotors rubbing on lower control arms

I had to ground down the tip of the lca and then also just a little on the front and back around the outside. When I turned the wheel it would still bind. I guess it could change based on your alignment due to home much shim you have on the top lca. Is the rotor kicked in to the lca?
