Tire rubbing questions (1 Viewer)

Why does my front drivers side tire rub the wheel well more often than the front passenger. Would this indicate something on my rig is bent?

I am running a 2" ironman and after I replaced worn out toyos with new nitto's that were both 315/75/16's I have started to get the occasional rub due to the 1.5" increase between brands and worn vs new. The strange thing is it happens way more often on my drivers side compared to the passenger side. I am going to throw some coil spacers in the front to try and fix the rubbing but I am just curious why it rubs worse on the drivers side.

Thanks

The lift causes the axle to move towards the passenger side. To correct it you need an adjustable front pan hard bar.

Awesome, that makes perfect sense. That's all I needed to know.
