I just used a hacksaw and cut it off at a 45. Mine didn't rub, but I wanted more clearance. the only place it rubbed was in the driver's side fenderliner in the front...I just took a heat gun and reshaped it...it only rubbed while backing. When I cut more off to fit the aftermarket wheels I taped it off and used a small cut-off wheel. Worked pretty good...you have to look close to see that i cut my front bumper. i don't know if I took pictures of that though.

I run 285 BFG KO on my 04 GMC and I only did 2 cranks on the T bars with VERY minimal trimming on the front bumper and I never and I mean never rub... My theory, trucks can be moody i guess..

I have been told that there is a difference in how high some of these trucks are from the factory... ie: yours may have been taller from the factory than ours...

I'm currently getting a set of BFG AT/KO LT265/70R17's LRE mounted up on a set of chrome 17x8.5 H2's. I will have them bolted on this afternoon and get some pics. Naturally I'm going with raised white letter out.

Just picked them up from the tire shop. They look great. Now I just can't wait to get off work to go home and bolt them up.

just got back from a 5HR trip doing 68MPH the whole time and got right at 22MPG running 285-75R16 tires on a CC SB truck that weighs 7500# with me in it..when i was doing 70-72MPH i dropped down to 20MPG so speed is a big factor in fuel economy.
