if you get shorter LCA's it might help...depends on how bad it is...if not then get camber kits thats the best way to fix it

still 2" shouldnt make u rub so that u need tires that frequently. id say that getting some good shocks like tokico blues or some kybs should do the trick. and he cant lift, he got springs not coilovers...
