I am using art uppers and lowers and I was wondering in anyone is have the same problem I am. The drivers side arm is about 5/8" closer to the fender and rubs when the truck goes up on some stock 14s. Is this normal or what??? I have never seen it but this is my first time using art arms. The other thing is do you really have to shim the hell out of these thing because they look like crap and I only bought them under the impression the were well engineered.

Thanks guys andy help will be appreciated. The truck is sfbded 3.5 inches

if your distance from frame to fender is different on each side check the alignment of the core-support.

also a possibility of the frame being tweeked. Doesn't sound like a control arm problem as much as an alignment of body panels vs frame.
