I see you have a 3" body lift with 33/12.50 tires, any problem with rubbing on or off road?

Last I heard he was having slight rubbing when his tires were all the way cranked.

Close Knobby. They rub ever so slightly right at the bottom back corner of the front bumper in about mid turn. I trimmed a little of the plastic there and you can hardly hear it now. ONly once in a while and then its now where near enough to actually cause any problems just an annnoying little sound is all. I really think it is because the tread width on these XT's is a bit wider than most 33x12.50's Little difference there or in the backspacing on the rims and no problem.

So no crunched fenders on full compression of front suspension with the wheels turned or straight? I can handle a little rubbing, I already have factory 265/75-16's and moving up to 32's will barely change the appearance for $400+ but 33's will make a noticable difference and they only cost a few bucks more.

No. No where near anything like that. Here is where they are close at.

Here are a couple more shots. Not the best quality though.

Thanks much, once I get my lift from U.P.S. and put'er in, next stop, my Uncles Tire/Wheel/Automotive Shop! Dealer cost helps take the sting out of aftermarket purchases:) I will not be using tires as aggressive as your Pro Comp's since I still have to drive 25 miles each way to work via highway and want to avoid the dreaded lug drone at highway speeds. I'll be using BFG MT's or whatever my Uncle recommends so possibly I will not have the same rubbing problem. Thanks again and once I get my 01 CC 4.7 up in the air I'll take some pics and get my membership so my sweet ass ride can be seen at every posting:)
