    Truth be told, I count Leander as Cedar Park... which I count as Austin. It's all Austin to me really:D But the greater ATX area including RR is over 2 million people. and that's more than the State of Nebraska. But the Leander area is nice too and also included in our search.

    Compare with DFW area at over 7m people. Our drives would pretty much be considered interstate travel up North.

    Yeah, Dallas and Houston are way to much for me other than the occasional pass through or visit. I like that there is an unending list of things to do but I like being on the outskirts. It's been working out so far though

    So... Today just became Friday for me... Decided to move some hours around and take tomorrow off since I'll be here most of next week. I wasn't planning on this but someone at work asked me why I'm not, and I couldn't come up with a valid reason and took it off :D

    So I realize this has probably beem asked/answered before so please help me out or just send me to the thread where it is covered. Just got my lift installed (888, 5100's, SPC Upper CA) and added BFG AT 285/70/17. I know it varies from truck to truck with rubbing/no rubbing but I now have rubbing when at full turn in reverse and turning up an incline going forward. Will this do any irreparable damage or do I need to do some trimming. I can live with it if I'm not hurting anything. I would appreciate any advice/suggestions on how to handle this. Thanks in advance.

    If you wanna swing by this weekend, we can do some trimming and assess if there's anything further needed to mitigate your issues.

    Awesome. I leave for St. Louis on Saturday but I'm back Tuesday. How's next weekend work for you? What is it that normally rubs anyway? I assume it's usually the same issues with my setup.

    Usually its just plastics that are rubbing, then it can also rub on the cab mount as well. Trimming plastic doesn't take long, and we can flex test in my driveway.
