bigger tire without a lift

DuramaxVehTech · 03-01-2009, 09:01 PM

i put 285's on my truck and now when i turn the tirea rub on the fenders. i was thinking of turning the torsion bars up to stop the rubbing or cutting the fenders a bit to clear the tire.
Any ideas guy

yep a little trimming and a few turns on the torsion bars should take care of your problem.

If youturn the torsion bars get aan aliignment if theres lots of trimming I would just level it out properly,all these trucks seema little bit different,

ya when i bought the tires from goodyear, the guy said i would have no problem with rubbing or anything, but i guess i should have known better. i will ahve to do something because its a little anoying when i make sharp turns.

my 07 rubbed pretty bad in a turn and hitting a bump while turning really made a ruccus. Scared people walking down the street, they thought my truck just broke something. Pretty funny to see the look on there face

That sounds like what mine does.

you'll want to get it taken care of or you will burn a hole in your inner fender or rip it completly out. I burned a hole in my fender and it also ripped a chunk out of it

Do yourself a favor and get a leveling kit.
