    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.

    never had any spring issues...

    and when i was doing this, i encountered several people who said the same thing, but looking under their trucks in person, i was able to see and point out to them the rub marks on the frames of their trucks... they may have never HEARD the rub, but there was indeed rub... i didnt mind it for a while as it wasn't noticeable from inside the cab but i ended up doing the truck up right later so it worked out either way...

    ya know though, thinking that through again, i just realized that i have always run aggressive MT style tires....

    the aggressive tread probably contributed to the rubbing issues...

    at least until i finally went with 4" backspace wheels...

    That could be. Although, many tires very in size from one make to the other, as well. One buddy of mine did have the rub marks on his frame, like you metioned, and he was running a Goodyear MTR. SO, there very well could be a diff. in the tire design atributing to this.
