    Hey guys, When I back up with a full right turn something is rubbing, but I can't tell where. I see no marks anywhere. I've trimmed a little on the inside of the fender wells, but still rubs. only when I back up turining right. Help please

    that picture serves no use at all in diagnosing the issue. turn the tires full lock and look at what's rubbing. kind of guess and check type of thing

    Not enough
    ^^^^This! And how much lift?

    I'm running 295/70r17 on 3" lift w/4.5 back spacing on my wheels. I found drivers side rubbed worse and required more trimming because of the Taco lean.

    Pictures at full lock both directions would be helpful.

    33's rub......no way around it except to keep cutting until they don't. What happens is the suspension compresses just enough with the wheel turned and it just needs to be cut out. Give it a few days to show where it's rubbing. If you don't wheel much just trimming the plastic, flares and removing mud flaps should do the job. If it's rubbing the pinch weld you need new UCA's to dial in your caster (need more) and cut that plastic out to pound the pinch weld flat with a BFH and chop your cab mounts.

    It sounds worse than it is and isn't noticable from the outside of the truck! :D

    Cmc maybe?
    Like he said...turn the wheel, put it in park, and go see what part of the tire is closest to what part of the truck.
    Or have a buddy back the truck up and you take a peek.

    Doesn't include mall crawling with 5" of lift......LOL!

    When you stuff your tires there needs to be room and no amount of lift with help with full travel into the wheel wells!

    Just messing with you on the mall crawling! ;)

    yeah OP I forgot, suspension lift will only take care of rubbing at ride height. you're going to rub everything at full compression so the only true way to eliminate rubbing is a lot of cutting and welding

    You could start by just taking off those mudflaps.

    No point in talking cab mount chop while the guy's still running front mudflaps. Mudflaps steal 3/4" clearance just by themselves.
