Tested for rub on the 33x12.5's and sitting stock (with pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NO RUB! It does come VERY close to the front and backs of the fender but VERY LITTLE massaging and pushing the edges back will make sure I don't tear anything up, but I had it flexed out the most I could and I don't use this as a trail truck so it shouldn't be an issue.

Heres some pics.

A friend of mine built it for me, I don't really use it for what we built it for anymore, but if I wanna back into something I don't have to worry about bending it hehe.

Everytime I see your truck, it makes me wanna start spending money. It also makes me wanna get 32s instead of 31s.

I hope mine looks that good when it is completed.

I bought my truck in this condition, I hate doing body and paint work so I searched for a truck that I could afford but would either have a bad motor or bad transmission because otherwise it would have gone for 4k+ dollars, I picked this one up for 2200 in the condition you see, except for the rear bumper and grill guard on front, plus I put a few scratches and small dings in it off-road, which I wish I hadn't done now, but I want to get a better coat of paint on it anyway (this paint is thin and chips very easily).

I'm most impressed with the home made ramp. Tell 4 wheeler they can take their metal articulation ramp and shove it.

I had a 77 Jimmy with 33" BFG mud terrain and they rubbed when it turned sharp. With a 4 " lift they still rubbed on turns when articulating.

What kind of wheels did you have? They play a big role in what will rub and what won't. I have 15x8s with 3.75" of BSing. 4" of BSing on these wheels would be a little better though.

They are US Wheels 84 series I believe, have a single red stripe around the edge as apposed to a red and blue stripe.
