Stop that rub

I have put a 3 in. lift on my 08 with 285 pro comp's/w classic II 's which in turn has caused some tire rub when fully cranked. I then tried 2 in. spacers to stop the rubbing but this only made it worse. Is there anything I can do other than invest in a 6 in. lift to correct this problem ? Any help would be appeciated.

 

3in level kit? I just did the same thing and have no rub, however I went with 4x 275/85/16 Nitto's

 

Spacers will not help. the only thing u could done when running a 285 is to have went with a rim that has stock offset and then put small spacers. the offset is what makes it rub when it turns. Either go smaller or new rims or trim a little.

By the way what exact tire size do u have.

 

Trimm the inside of the fender...the back tires should be good, but trim the fender closest to the front...that's what rubbing (I think)

 

i would like to see what u trimmed. Do u have any pictures? i been curious bout that since i first saw your truck. Did u ever figure out if your lift is actually sold as 3.5" or is it sold under the name 3" suspension lift.

 

It was sold as a 3''

Now for the trimming, they cut the lower part of the fender in which connects with the plastic chasis:

Then they raised the inner part of the fender:

You can see where the inside fender is supposed to meet with the cut plastic but they raised it so that it wont rub against it:


It's pretty difficult to explain EXACTLY what they cut....but if you take a look inside of your front untrimmed fender, then look at mine, you can tell the difference

hope this helps

Thanks buddy!

 

updated above!

Oh, also.. They still do rub every now and then (only when I turn onto a hill in a weird manner :S :O!) but they dont rub when I go out on the hills

 

Yeah i would think there is some rubbing still when the suspension is tweaked, but that does look good. Like i said before ur one the few with 3" lift running full 33's. Looks great!

 

Thanks man!
