Tire Fit Issue

I have a 99 GMC K1500 Suburban with stock suspension,except for the Bilstein Shocks. I have just installed new A/R 16" wheels and BF Goodrich 285 - 75 - 16's.
They are rubbing in the front on tight turns. My question is what is the least expensive way right now to solve this. I cannot afford a good suspension lift. I put a new GM crate motor in it, radiator, fuel pump, belt, hoses. $5500.00. I am now low on cash!
Truck is used for pulling my 16' fishing boat on backroads, no rough off-roading.
I know I pushed it when I put these tires on it.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Tire Fit Issue

Well i really don't think there is a "cheap" way of raising it. Depends on what you call cheap. Is it 4x4 or 2wd, does it have leaf spring suspension up front or is it ifs ? If it is 4wd then it is ifs and you could just give the torsion bars a few cranks each to lift the front end a bit, If it is leaf sprung up front you can get an add a leaf kit but you would need to do the same for the rear. If it has coils up front you could get spacers but again you would also need to lift the rear, so we are back to what you define as cheap.

Re: Tire Fit Issue

Since it's a '99 it's going to be IFS. I think GM did away with the solid front axles at the begining of the 88 model year.
