So I went 285/70/17 Duratracs. Anyone have any pics handy of how they trimmed the rear of the front fender after the mud flaps were removed? I did the front liner push and trim but the back of the front fender rubs "flexin" when I pull into my parking garage :)

The rubbing has given me 3 new gray hairs.

How much lift are you running and what is your alignment set at? Many of us have eliminating the rubbing by maxing caster out.

Toytec 3/2

Caster after lift but before tires was 0.8 left 1.0 right stock UCAS. I need to get it checked again.

Ok, based on that your probably gonna rub. Your caster needs to be 3 or higher in most cases to eleviate rub. Your taking the 3/2 spacer lift, right?

That is really low caster. Does it wander all over the road? Just from a drivability standpoint, I would get that realigned. You may have to go with aftermarket UCAs to get any decent caster out of it.

Glad to hear. As I mention earlier & [MENTION=32290]gm350reratliff[/MENTION] mentioned you need more caster. You can get it checked, but I suspect your gonna need aftermarket UCA's to get the proper caster.
 
Thanks for the info. I figured I would need the aftermarket UCA. But at the moment I dont have the spare $500. So I need to do some trimming for the time being and just wanted to see how it was done from those that have done it.

slight pull to the left but other than that drives great.
