    Take a heat gun to the plastic and push it forward when soft(w/ block of wood, tube, or something along those lines), allow it to cool and set in place. Re-check rub and if its gone cool, otherwise do again a bit more until clear.

    Or just trim the plastic thats rubbing the tires.

    What are you rubbing? The plastic fender liners, or the cab mount?

    If it rubs it, cut it.
    Uhm, plastic and fenders and cab mount. Not the upper control arm like some ding dong did.

    It is hitting the cab mount a little bit. I have trimmed a bunch. Should I adjust the my coils to the next notch? [​IMG]
