    Traded my 09 for a 16 Limited. Bought the truck used with the suspension lift and wheels and tires. The dealer put brand new 315 generals on it and there's a pretty good already modified fender well rub especially when turning in reverse. Not sure I know what else to do but get smaller tires even then idk. Being my first lifted truck. My 09 was stock. Love the look though

    The first thing you need to do is remove the chrome from the fog lights.

    Good looking truck!

    Drive in some mud, clean off the inner liners and then rub, will easily see what you're rubbing on. Can also do this with chalk I just like any excuse to go play in the mud. Then get some pictures, post it up and can really help determine what you need to do to keep at your current tire size or if you'll need to go down a few sizes.

    take it for an alignment and have them give you more caster. if the dealer did stock settings then it will not work. TC has built-in caster that pulls the wheel towards the firewall. you should likely be 3+ in caster. Also if they did not do a Cab mount chop and pinch weld that will be next on your list. 315 is a big tire. You may also consider trimming your fenders. the other option is to go down in the tire. 285/75/17 for example will give you close to a 34 but not as wide. All other items should still be addressed.

    If you just drive around town you may not notice much but the extra caster will help in the rubbing in reverse. almost a guarantee there is no enough caster.

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.
    Does it have spacers already? May be rubbing on spindle?

    unless they added spacers it likely max 3" the kings won't go 4" max 3ish and that's pushing it on those.
