Hey everyone,
I installed Icon front coils /remote res and cdcv vales, I have the coils set pretty low height wise, maybe 1.25" over stock height and I noticed that the front tires are rubbing the reservoirs near full lock. Im currently running stock size tires and and stock wheels, would upgrading the uca's to SPC possibly help alleviate the rubbing?
 
"stock size tires" meaning stock diameter or actual 285/60/18? They seem to have a lot of sidewall bulge for truly stock tires, but that may be the camera angle.

Is your alignment in spec? At some point in height stock UCAs will have trouble getting everything in range. I believe you are approaching that height.
 
Do you have pics of the actual reservoir and the rubbing? Is the reservoir mounted per the instructions? I just checked and were about 1 1/2” away at full lock (at least full lock after shutting engine off)

The dealer was just able to get it all green on the alignment but just barely, I was told if it was any higher I would need to upgrade the UCAs. The tires are 285/60/18 Nitto Terra-Grapplers AT, I know different brands of tires don't come out true to size and that may be the case here.

Yes the res is mounted according to instruction, the photos are of the driver side, the passenger side is not as severe. It does not hit at full lock on level ground, it appears to make contact when turning over bumps or compressed.

I have my Icons set to 0.75" over stock to level rake. My rears did have trouble with the reservoirs and had to move them near the sliders.
