I've got the Frankenlift II and installed Al's Upper A-Arms, just recently put new tires on that are 240/75/16 BFG/AT KOs. I've got some tire rubbing on the A-Arms (rear area), and on the sway bar too (I expected this).
I'm just wondering if this is to be expected or experianced by anyone else.

Additionaly, it is a CRD, so it may just be another "CRD Thing".

I assume you meant 245/70/16? I just lifted (the new shorter FLII + clevis and an extra isolator) and am getting tires soon. From thousands of hours of reading on LOST trying to decide what size tire to go with, I can not believe you are rubbing wiht 245/70/16 and a FL? 245/75/16 and there would be a good chance for rubbing (this is all from what I have gathered reading, I still have 225/75/16....). i do not have Als upper A arms, but I will when the UBJ needs replaced. Or if it wears tires to fast due to being out of camber.

Well, if your FL'ed CRD is rubbing with 245/70/16s so much for trying 255/70/16's on mine.

strange...I'm running 245/70/16 ATs with a big square shoulder on them on an unlifted 03 sport and have absolutely zero rubbing anywhere...I wonder why he's rubbing with this tire size on a lifted KJ. Even going to 75s it's still around a 30" tire and can almost fit under a stock KJ. No????

The reason he has rub and you don't is that when you lift a IFS without adding longer LCA's as well as longer UCA's(Al's a-arms) it sucks the wheels closer to the inside of the vehicle,thus getting rub with the factory rims and bigger tires.It's also common to get rub on the front swaybar to with the stock rims and bigger tires.

Where would you get the longer LCA's?

Nowhere,nobody makes them and since they are a major load bearing item they should be casted which would be very expensive to have some prototypes made.Oh and then you would need longer CV's made and that's not cheap either.

I put Al's upper arms on my liberty in February of '06. I have 265/75/16 Nitto Terragrapplers which I installed in May of '05.

When turning sharp, the inside sidewall of my tires rubs the rear of the upper arm. I have put on almost 50,000 miles now with these upper arms, and it doesn't seem that the rubbing has caused any damage. I repaint the rear of the A arm about once a month just to keep it from rusting, but before I know it, the tires tear all the paint off again.

The good thing about the Al's arms is that the tire doesn't rub the upper ball joint bung. On the stock upper arms, there tire sidewall rubbed the edge of the arm right above the ball joint at anything over 1" droop. The Al's arms don't rub the sidewall even at full droop.
