Just recently my truck is making a noise when I go to turn. I can only really tell at low speeds like coming off of a complete stop. It making a noise and feels like it is rubbing. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I have a flat tire. Now back in the beginning of January I did get my truck lifted 3.5 inches if that could have anything to do with it.

If you didn't fix your suspension to match the lift then it is your problem something is probably rubbing because you probably put larger tires on as well. Your geometry is off on the front end and you'll start to wear parts soon as well. They make kits for this stuff to correct it.

It was a suspension lift kit that came with the shock tower extensions and differential spacers. Yes I did put bigger tires on as well. But it has been fine for months and just started doing it.

Have your suspension checked. Something has worn out on it. Maybe a control arm bushing or ball joint.
