    I’m getting some pretty hard rubbing with the new 285/70/17s in these areas.. much more than I expected. Doesn’t seem to be hitting the cab mount, but definitely the fender and flare. I’d like to see some pictures of clearancing work done that doesn’t look too hacked up.

    it's not rocket surgery, cut or trim where it's hitting and move on.
