Jefe,
BUT I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO STAY PRETTY FOR A LITTLE WHILE! LOL!
But seriously though, I modified my factory running boards with a dremel tool and a blow torch(very carefully) and took out all the extra plastic that extends the fender down. So now the running board plastic is folded right up under against the bottom of the fender corner. To remove any more, would mean removing and/or bending metal.(no good)
To answer your question with a question Jefe, what wheels are you running? I'm running Eagle 589s with a 4.5" offset which I think is too much and most of the reason I am rubbing. 4Wheel Parts told me that I could'nt get a 15x10 wheel with more inset then what I have(the next size in would rub rim-to-steering knuckle). Even though theres about an inch of gap between the rim edge and the steering knuckle joint. Every inch counts.
Don't get me wrong though, I need to be turning pretty sharp AND compressing the front suspension quite a bit to get it to rub. I'm just really picky.
Hey Ray, do you know what the offset/inset on you wheels are?
Beautiful truck, by the way!
