I've got a 5"/5" drop set up for my truck and read somewhere that with 3" spindles and 2" springs there might be rubbing between the wheel and the LCA.
I think it also mentioned that it only rubbed with 15" wheels, but cant remember.

Will there be rubbing if I run my 15" wheels? What size of wheel will not rub?

Also, the little crossmember right in front of the very rear X-member, and just behind the rear axle; can I cut that off without losing frame rigidity?

Thanks
