this guy must not drive very fast then. go over the right dip in the road or start pushing your suspension to its limits and you will rub the inner wheel well.

well I dont exactly autoX but I have driven it hard at times especially with the blower. It could be the difference in offset of our wheels depending on where your rubbing. I have bottomed out the rear with 4 people in the truck and hitting a big dip in the road at highway speed but thats about it.

i'm rubbing the top of the wheel tread on the inside 4 inches of the wheel,


I rub hiting that dip off the the very left lane at 50+ I dont rub taking the elberon/warsaw exit however doing 80ish around the first and second corners



the coming downhil I rub around the corners here and the left-most onramp I usually rub around as I take it doing about 45-50


most of my rubbing ALWAYS involves super aggressive driving and REALLY crappy roads, usually its a combination of braking/cornering and hitting dips and uneven old roads, cept for that dip in the first pic, theres no corner there its a slight dip before a pretty aprupt grade change, anything over 50 rubs there,



this is the playground.



the first offramp in the oncoming lane is fun, hit it at 75 and scrub off speed trough the turn and then acelerate out of the turn for the short strait before braking hard and hitting the left hand curve at 50

You will only rub the tire on the inner fender if you change to the 1 inch bumpstop, I have a 2 1/4 inch (I think) bumpstop with 24's and no rub issues.
Black 3v you do have one of the nicest trucks on here (you and my best friend Thumper have some of the nicest droped n lifted f150s) Must be a FL thing.
JDM go with the 2/4 of your choice but dont use the little red bump stops with the kit, cause you WILL chew your tires.
