    Hey there.

    I was wondering if anyone could help me out a bit.

    I went with a 295/70/R18 for a tire size, I'm have a rubbing issue at the middle of the mudflap if I hit a bump during a turn. I have trimmed, and still haven't resolved the issue. If I were to raise the front end some more, would that solve this issue? If so should I invest in some coil overs and crank them to around 7"?

    After I got my alignment done, my traction control light came on. It won't turn off, and the button isnt responsive. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd just take the front mud flaps off. That's what I did to mine

    Did you trim any of the plastic on the inside of the fender flares?

    I had to take the plastic pieces off in front of the tires so mine wouldn't rub. I don't know exactly what they are, it looks like small mud flaps held on by 2 bolts in front of the front tires.

    I have the same issue with my traction control light after finishing my lift and getting an alignment. Anybody know what causes this or how to fix this?

    No rubbing here after removing the two small mud flpas as mentioned earlier and after trimming some of the regular size mud flaps... BUT, I am eperiencing traction control issues.

    Coming off a freeway, say an offramp that is curving to the left, I hear and feel this rubbing like noise from the left front tire, and also the traction control on the dash lights up then goes away. Possibly the ABS kicking in....? Scared the crap out of me... Have a 2014 with OME 3" suspension system, with Goodyear Duratrac's (285/70R17). Truck looks sick!!!

    ^ This.

    Might also need to do a cab mount chop, I have a small one done on mine and I still rub. Need to chop more, and flatten my pinch weld.

    The traction control light came on because the alignment was so far out of whack. Just need to clear the code and it will turn off.
