: Rubbing inner fender on turns


goin' pullin'

I have a 2500HD cc sb as you can see in my sig. My problem is I have been running my 16x8 Sidewinders with 285x75x16 BFG m/t for about 2,000 miles and haven't experienced a rub due to the cranked green keys. The other day I turned sharp to park and caught my driver side inner fender pretty good and know it always rubs in the slightest turns on the front and back side. I have done some searching and found some info on a parking brake tie back, but I couldn't find how to fix it or any pics.


If someone could give me some suggetions on how to make these fit better I would appreciate it. I figured with all the people running H2's here at "The Place" I could get some good feedback.


Thanks for any and all help,


Matthew

I used zip ties to pull mine back. It still rubs a little, but it's on a smooth surface that will not hurt anything. The parking brake cable is very stiff there and hard to pull back.


If I remember correctly someone used a heat gun to remold the liners out of the way. I'll bet that looks a lot better than my zip ties!!!

crankin T bars ain't givin enouf lift to clear especially with 16x8s that have stock backspacin. . . lift kit and/or small backspacin . . . crankin the T bars is not the right path. . . hell, even a body lift would be better . . .
