i'm guessin its the 20" RT rims and tires. those are BIG and wide. maybe try 265/ or 255/ 40 (if they're not too narrow). as far as the shocks, maybe your shocks are for 2" drop w/ springs. i think with the arms, the shocks should be the same length as stock, just stiffer. anyone else??:) peace

I have 20 inch RT's on my Durango which is lowered 2/2 and mine also rubs hard. Your only choices are lower profile tires or raise it back up. I have a set of Bilstein 2 inch drop shocks which are very good and I still rub. I think its because they are so wide. Just my .02! Later
