Talking Let er rip!!!!

looks lifted some to me too,I'd do what Jason said.I would see if you could tie to keep from rubbing.I have 285's[technically 33's,I learned when I bought em]on mine.they rub,but only when I cut wheel in reverse.So,I figure over time,they'll wear the groove they need in the front lower bumper/air dam.Unless it is really getting damaged or making distracting noises,I'd leave it,looks like someone got it lifted also...

the 315-75R17 equals to a 35.4" tall tire so i would say you have a lift so its either doing some fabing or dropping to a 35" tire..

Ok, found out I have shock spacers and a torsion key installed. Think I am going to go down to 285 size and back off the torsion a bit, rides like a tank.

Cool! how did you find out it had torsion bar keys? Ya going down to a 285 will help save front end parts as well.

I agree with James. Get rid of the tires and lower the truck. You are going to hat the repair bills. If you have 75 series tires, you are SOL without a real lift, regardless of wheel BS. I would run no larger than 34".

I took it to a lift shop to find out about the torsion keys. I think I am going to put a 6 inch lift on it.
