    Hi, my truck already has a 6 inch suspension lift sitting on 35s and the 35s rub like crazy. I was thinking maybe adding a 3 inch body lift would allow them to clear the corner of the fenders. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Welcome to TW! Or you could cut off the plastic at the lower corners like I did. Some trucks rub the cab mount also & many guys on here have trimmed off part of that.

    I would post some pics so you could see exactly what I cut off but I'm on my work computer & don't have them.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    I strongly recommend against body lift. Opens a giant can of worms.
    Just do some trimming where the tires are rubbing and call it good! :)

    My truck is only 2wd. I know I wish it was 4wd and plan to one day convert it.
