I got my 295/70/17s put on yesterday!

well got my t-bars cranked, alignment and tires put on. Makes the truck look badass now!!

The only problem is that I'm rubbing. Should I just cut some of the valence or would it be ok if I just unbolt the very lower valence and take it off completely?

I already took it off roading the first day I got the tires and it handled nice.

yeah I Just cut it right now.
If it still rubs I'll just unbolt the whole thing.

I'll get some pics later on and post them up.

Alright thanks Keith, I'll do that sometime today. All it is, is a few bolts holding it on.

Yep and if you don't like it like that, you can easily put it back on. I did it to mine and a buddys 02 f150.
