Icon 'Stage 8' Billet kit just installed...and, "oops!?!"

[rguest3]

Hello Folks! So, I just had installed the Icon Stage 8 Sasquatch Billet Suspension kit on a 2022 Badlands Sasquatch 4-door (I know, lucky me).

Well, it feels great, but both front tires are rubbing against the b-UCAs (billet upper control arms) when turning about 3/4 to full turn.

I'm running with the 315/70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires, on the Sasquatch factory wheels, which came with the 315/70R17 Goodyear wranglers.

The OEM Goodyears, have a 'section width' of 12.7" (actual size, according to TireRack.com)--though 315mm calculates to 12.4";

The Mickey Thompsons has a 'section width' of 12.8" (actual size on their website).

I assume this .1" larger on the MicTs is not a difference maker, there's got to be more than a .1 clearance on the OEM tires designed in the Icon kit.

Anyone else experience this with a similar build & Icon Billet UCA??

Thanks in advance.

Have you had an alignment done yet?

I would think the +30 offset Sasquatch wheels should fit as well.

OEM wheels, same size tires as OEM (though .1" wider 'tire section' on MickyT A/Ts) do not clear.

I am running an ICON stage 8 suspension on 38x12.5 Nittos with no rubbing. My wheels are 0 offset Icon Rebound Pros which have a bead gripping system so I can air down under 10psi without popping a bead.

I did install the Lobo front crash bar removal and reinforcement system- like very much and I rubbed on the bar behind the front wheels. They cut it off and I can fully turn without rubbing.

What was the resolution to this problem, are Stock SAS wheels and tires supported, I see they haven’t updated their website either. Looking at this setup but don’t want new wheels until its time for new tires.
