Rubbing on the Rock Blockz

    TW,

    I'm running 265/75/R16 on Toyota TRD Beadlock rims and a stock suspension.

    When I make a hard turn while in reverse, the front passenger (and only the passenger) tire rubs on the center-middle section of my Rock Blockz mud flap. Due to the location, no amount of trimming will help.

    I hate to spend the money, but would a mild front lift fix this problem? And I wonder why it is only the passenger side?

    Thanks

    Do you still have your rock blockz on your truck? If so what's your opinion of them? I need some wider flaps on the back and I'm searching for a decent option. Do you have any pics?

    How's your alignment? I was rubbing on one side (I am lifted) and after my alignment I'm not even close to rubbing anymore.

    I have the RokBlokz "Short, Oversized Tire" version running 285/70/17's. I think they are awesome. The one shortfall of them is that they are a little too short in the front, and I still do get a good amount of road/mud spray.

    I have them (with the same wheel and tire combo as OP) and would highly recommend.

    That's good to know. I appreciate the response. It sucks that you still get some spray up the side of your truck. I have the same problem and was hoping that the wider flaps would be the solution. I'm not a neat freak my any means but it's nice to have a clean truck every now and then. I live around Houston so if it's not raining there's construction somewhere. That's what I get for pulling the trigger on a wider rim and tire combo.:mudding:

    get some wooden clipboards, paint them black, stick them on your truck with about 1 1/2"-2" sticking out the side. Boom, you got rokblox
