Re: Tire rub need advice!
They are rubbing on the outside of the inner fender well I was thinking of making a spacer to go between the leaf springs or grinding some of the inner well out?

Re: Tire rub need advice!
Get an adjustable pangard bar and center the differential. I have 295/45/20's in the rear and they are close but no rubbing...

Re: Tire rub need advice!
place a broom handle on the tire between the tire and body then roll the truck forward it will roll the inner in a bit..you may have to do it couple times

Re: Tire rub need advice!
Wheels and tires are expensive. Lifting the truck is cheap. That should tell you what I would do.
