Ummmm...x2, trim where it rubs :roll:

We aint there to see it, therefore we'll prolly not be much help...my advice, ditch all that fender liner stinky poo and tap down the pinch weld, problem should be solved...

Foglight area and pinch weld probably.

You might have to cut some metal in the rear wheel wells...the spacers have increased the arc your tire travels when turned in the front and pushed them out in the rear.

The only rubbing i get is the fog light door area. I heated it up and pushed it in, but still rubs slightly at full lock in reverse. To lazy to mess with it anymore. It's not that bad. The spacers make it look 100000x better. I have yet to experience any rubbing in the rear.

The big difference between you and I are the strut plates... I do get rubbing in the front and the rear pinchweld area at/near full lock...

I've decided I'm going to try and return these... lets see if they'll allow it. I don't really want to modify the plastic on my truck if I don't have to..

I've got some custom 10mm 6061-T6 aluminum spacers in the works. If they work out well, the machine shop will do a group buy for everyone here. May be a good compromise.

Unless they are somehow defective, you're not likely going to get your money back after they've been installed and used.

What's the big deal about pounding over the pinchweld and heating a little plactic around the foglight area to push it forward to allow the extra room you need?... Some people have cut the whole foglight area out up to the bumper line, and it looks really boss.

The strut plates just fix the sag of this pos lift. Hammer down the pinch weld and modify the wheel liner no big deal.

Is $200 shipped too much to ask? They were on for a day.

qbracken · **Posted:** Wed Oct 10, 2007 7:23 pm

With that much lift you get that bad of rubbing? The tires are a little bigger than stock, but I'm suprised anything is touching.. I have no lift, standard tires and no rubbing so far... I agree; with the spacers, the Lib looks WAAAay better...

Bang that pinchweld down, and deal with the rubbing up front at full lock. It's not like it's going to hurt anyting, just might be a little annoying occasionally. No offense man, but it's an '03. My '06 is getting a trim next weekend :wink:

What does the year have to do with anything? Personally I think the newer body styles are ugly. Whose idea was it to put the fog lights in the grille like that, they should be shot!

Anyway, I already sent them back.

Also, with the wheel spacers on, the first time I stuffed one of the rear tires I'd probably knock the flare off. The tire just barely clears in there as it is now (even with additional bump stops)

Spidertraxed. Now I get rubbing..
