I consider my search skills decent, but I haven’t found an answer to this. I have a 2017 1000-5 that I purchased new. I put a 2.5 lift and 29x11 terminators on it. When I first put them on, I would only get rubbing at lock and when flexing. I now have about 1500 miles on it and I have noticed that I am getting more rubbing. I don’t have to go to full lock and I will get some rubbing. What could cause this besides the springs getting weak already? Should I just crank the springs up more or go ahead and replace them?

Did you change your front a-arms?

Definitely the springs settling with time and miles

Spring sag is what I figured. The only other modification I made from stock was a custom roof. It’s 1/8th diamond plate steel. That probably helps add to the weight factor just a little.
