Rubbing on 6" lift with 35" tires
As I posted earlier this week I did a 6" lift and put on 35's, and there was supposed to be no issue with rubbing, but over bumps turning into my driveway to the left I rub a bit.....does anyone else have rubbing issues with 6" lifts and 35" tires?
The odd part is that it is only on the left side, when turning left.

I have a 3" bodylift on my 96 and I have no rubbing issues unless I turn as hard as I can,then it hits radius arms. But you dont have to worry about radius arms.

Since your turning left when this happens your more than likely rubbing on the front valance. If you take wanted you cut could cut the the front edge of it and that should fix it.

if its rubbing only a little and its a 6" lift, then I agree with the above post that it is rubbing in the front bumper and its an easy fix, you just need to trim... its to be expected if you are running a normal aftermarket truck wheel as most have a 4.5" backspace where you need to run 5 to 5.5 to avoid rubbing, but if you dont have a big enough wheel you can run into issues of it rubbing on the spindle at that point so its a catch 22.... just trim the bumper a little and see what happens... Or you could always give me a call for a Heavy Duty bumper like this....

With my old tires (Pro Comp Xtreme AT's) I had no rubbing issues, but since going to the Pro Comp MT's I do rub when I turn to the right. These tires have a ore aggressive treat pattern to them so I'm rubbing on the lower valance. I have just been too lazy to get out there and cut some away.
Sounds like you may be experiencing the same issue.
