They're likely rubbing on the radius arms. I had that when I was using stock wheels with 265/65/18s. You need to add spacers if that's where you're rubbing.

I'm going to hook up a gopro somewhere and do some tight turns and bumps to figure it out..

radius arms and you will need to trim probably the bottom of both sides of the fender/wheel opening some. Turning and flexing will rub every time if things aren't clearanced..

Yep, I'm still running it! In fact I've had the same setup on three rigs and been very happy with all of them. Just this past weekend we had my D2 down to the Uwharrie Safari and it performed wonderfully.

I have the Terrafirma lift springs "TF 052 PS" and "TF 052 DS" in the front. that are supposed to give me a 2-3" lift and I have 1.5" spacers in the front.. but my 285/75/16's rub like crazy... Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
