Tire rub - rubbing me the wrong way...!

Your options as mentioned are:
1. Limit Steering with washers
2. Swap to lower control arms bent for tire clearance (synergy, etc)
3. Wheel spacers
4. Smaller tires (Heck no!)
Personally I like the arm swap best because it's $250ish so cost the same as spacers but saves your unit bearings and ball joints a lot of wear and tear

I'm running 4.5" backspace 17"x9" wheels, synergy arms, and 37"x13.5" stt pros and have no frame rubbing with synergy 3" coils. The OP has similar set up with narrower tires so I doubt spacers are needed to keep rubber off the frame in his case.

There is no way your tires aren't rubbing the frame at full lock unless you have a full width axle . Are you running spacers? Go take a look at your frame and see if paint has rubbed off

Remember too that not all 37s are created equal. Depends on what the true measurement is... Some are 36.5" or more and others are closer to 35.5". So that's another reason some might not have rubbing as bad as others.

I am def not running on the frame - it's the LCA. I know that RK are bent upward for ground clearance and not inward like some of the others. Also, with the kit (and anyone who has adjustable LCAs probably) moves the front axle forward to recenter the axle in the wheel well - this could be avoiding the frame rub.
