    I only seem to rub/cut the tires when the front of the truck when it compresses real quick like going over an intersection. I have yet to see it rub with wheeling.

    My question is with the fenders. I think I could have the tire moved back more with an alignment but it looks like I will rub the fender flares. Is there an easy way to get this extra 1/2 inch or so cut out. Has anyone done this before? do you get more spacing with different flares?

    What about wheels? Now that I have the camburg uppers can I run a different off-set to bring the tire in a little more? I don't want to have to cut my bumper but this may happen if I can't get this fixed.

    Please any help would be great!

    Search pinch weld mod. Seems that taking a hammer to the pinch weld (bottom rear of the front wheel well) and smashing it is necessary for most.
