trimmed the plastic alot and removed the front flaps. skipped the cab mount chop. no rub 99% of the time on-road.

Are you still running a sway bar?
yes, with a relocate. felt weird with the bar off.

if you have specific questions, pm me or ask in my build thread.

i have very minor rubbing towards the rear of the front fender (near the cab mount) it only rubs in reverse, or if i go up my drive way on an angle too fast. no rubbing on the fender or wheel well towards the front of the truck. (my alignment specs are not what i want them to be at my caster is at 1.4 and will get them to move that up to 2.8+++ probably this coming weekend, that should alleviate some the rubbing issues near the cab mount in reverse.

i trimmed very very very little to hold me over till i get my second alignment. trimmed small pieces off the fender and wheel well lining near cab mount so far

havent wheeled it yet so i dunno whats gonna rub off roading

 

On all 4 by the look of it.

 

yes all 4. would look funny if it was just the front imo.

 

I think that will make it rub more becaues it will move the wheel farther back.

 

I agree but some just do the front for UCA clearance.

 

hmm... i was under the impression more caster was going to move the wheel further forward. other threads ive read said moving caster to 2.4+++ will bring the wheel forward towards the front bumper so it doesnt hit the cab mount. dont jack me up....

 

^ What he said.

 

Good write up!!!^^^
