Well I shouldn't have to worry now. I have the spacers on and the pinch weld done. Now I just need the tires. I dont think I'll have them before my trail run this weekend but thats ok.

I have the same tires, and I still do rub at full lock nomatter what... I guess it's because of the nose dive-in. I think if I level it with the rear height it would be fixed, but thinking about when I load the truck, it would look like carrying an elephant on the rear and the nose up...
BTW, I also had to hammer/trim the pinch weld because it made a small cut in one of the tread wedges.
I have trimed the front bumper as Sal did, and when driving on reverse at full lock still rubs somewhere, I will have to take a better look at that...
p.s. tried to upload pic but didn't work either on IE nor Chrome...

With my 265/70 MT/Rs, I would have had crazy rubbing every where without doing the pinch weld mod and wheel spacers. I would have never cleared the UCA bolt and id have to drive in a straight line even if it did clear it.

In your signiture you state that you are running re-treads.....Maybe this is why you are rubbing so bad. I have 265/70 Nittos and only slightly rub in reverse (while turning) and do not have the pinch weld modded.Originally Posted by israelintothewild
