Talk me out of being scared from tire rub/selling new tires

Do you rub on the inner plastic of the wheel well up front? Or just the cab mount?

 

Both

 

alright well i went ape on the plastic and zipped a shit load off. Still hits the cab mount but nowhere near the mangled plastic. It was kind of fun so I will admit I went a little too far lol. But it only hits now on reverse full lock or turning going over a bump. So I will wait for the pieces for the cab mount and then go nuts on that with the grinder

 

Nice! Not that bad right? I was ganna say you could try to get more caster to keep you off the body mount, but then i read some of your other threads and the shit you have gone through with alignment and UCAs so you probably dont wanna go back to the alignment shop.

 

nah, 2.6 -2.9 is fine for me. Its rubbing both sides the same so with the chop that me and the neighbour will do when the parts are here should be fine. Thanks for the couching people. I feel a little less of a pussy now

 

Just let it rub like the po of my truck did.... (Sarcastic face) the tires will just do the trimming for you.

 

Nice, now that you have that part over you will be willing to do anything to your truck haha, I kinda dont want to do bush offroading as i pinstriped my truck already haha...... but i gues its there now so it doesnt matter

 

ya i cant wait to get the cab mount done. I did some light wheeling and it only scrapes when you cut the wheel and go over bumps. But its the mount mostly now. I have to do a tiny bit more cleaning up where i zipped out and it should be fine to drive till the plates get here

 

thats funny, because I bet its a decent amount. Those BFs would be larger on the outter ridge of the tire then mine so I bet its bad lol

 

It's actually not that bad. The truck came with pro comp wheels with a weird back spacing that rubbed the frame at full lock. Once I swapped them out for my f-5's I have no rubbing at all under normal conditions. Rubs a bit when I ride up on something fast. Mud flaps have been removed and a bit of the front plastic is worn away but that's about it. Doesn't even rub on the cab mount. I haven't done any heavy wheeling with the truck, but I'm pretty happy with it. One of these days I will get out the dremel and pretty it all up.
