    Anyone here have problems with 285/75/16 tires rubbing the frame? I have an all pro bumper and trimmed wheel well/fenders. For whatever reason, only my passenger tire is rubbing the frame. I have yet to get my truck aligned with the new tires. Do you think that will fix the issue?

    that sounds like the problem... I think you will be set if you get that alignment done :) any damage to the tire or frame?

    A few bolts are different.
    I have body mount rub with spidertrax spacers & 285's. Hoping my buddy in welding school can do some chopping for me in the future.

    It rubs the body mounts while flexing the suspension right where 6shooter has his chopped, I also trimmed the fenderwells and fender flare a little. sorry dont have pics. Longbow has good pics of the fenderwell trimming in his galley that looks just like mine does. It all depends though, just drive a little, trim a little and repeat untill funderwell rub is gone.

    Shooter, do you have a shot from the bottom to see how much you chopped off?
