Re: Testing my new wheel/tire combo
Just curious of the 3in body lift result. I know someone did the same thing with 10 wide wheels and they still rubbed. keep us all posted. Wheels look good.

Re: Testing my new wheel/tire combo
I dont see the issue with warranties..i have a few friends..one with a 04 F150 with a 6 Fabtec lift installed by the dealer he bought it at and a Chevy 2500 with the same deal..the guy with the F150 has his truck worked on warranty wise multiple times..even changing out Broke Cv axles that i am sure were caused by the lift and 36x16.5x18's for no charge to him...
Really depends on the dealer. They have the right do deny the work for the modification. Some dealers will ask for proof that it was installed by a professional and reputable shop. Some dealers are going as far as installing lifts to stock trucks and selling them off with full warranty. My local chevy places have at least one new, lifted z71 on the lot. One was a factory job and had a 7k markup from MSRP for the lift/tire combo.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it still rubbed just a little, but nothing I couldn't take care of. I thought about getting an extra set of inner fender linings and seeing if I can heat mold them to clear the tires without rubbing even when "flexing".

Looks good man. I had a 6/3" lift with 37"s and still rubbed but that was on a F-150. Cranked the torsion bars and that took care of it so Im gonna venture to say it may still rub.
