Shouldnt matter how its lowered just want to pull the wheels in board a inch or so to get the wheels away from the lip. The truck is a 2000 with 7000 original miles it was purchased from the original owner who stored it . It had 4700 miles on it when I bought it this year. It still had plastic on the rear floors and the fuses where taken out of the windows so they couldnt be operated while stored.Still smells new inside......

Other options are to add the 4x4 factory flare so you can then cut the inner lip off of the fender, change the tire size or in some cases have the front tires shaved slightly to stop the rubbing. Just some ideas for you. I have the same problem with mine, I am looking for some different tires to help this problem.
Thanks! C

why not just shorten your stock control arms 1 inch....I had to do this on my truck to get the lugs tucked...pretty common solution when bagging one will work static dropped too

I have thought about a shorter arm or shortening the stock arms. I just figred the 3/4 rotor nd the GM heavy duty adapter would be quick and easy.I switched from a 235 60 series to a standard low profile dually tire with only 6 inches of tread and going striaght the tires will not rub . In a hard bump situation the may hit the fender well .When I do the rotors or a arms I will install a taller bump stop...I will search the forum for a arm mods....

Do you shorten the lower and upper arms together?
