Maybe ya need to go on a diet.........J/K

Everything look tight and secure down below? Talked to the dealer about it?

Hope that the solution is found for ya.

Where's it rubbing at? Haven't noticed any tire rub with mine in any of the wheel positions.

Maybe rubbing on the nerf bar? Can't see a stock tire rubbing on the body panel or frame at stock suspension height.

Fender or fender FLARE?

If it's the flare, it's the 'tards at the dealership that put them on. The front and rear flares are boxed up and in the truck when it's delivered, that's a dealer prep item.

It may just need to be repositioned.

I know its been a while but wondering is your 35's were put on a stock truck, or not lifted in anyway? For Aaron, of course.

I know my 05 was able to fit 33's without any problems but i have not really heard anything on what the newer generations can fit. I have a 2013 now.
