Default 6in lift and still rubbing

so i got my 6in lift a month ago or something and i put 35's on....procomp claim they can clear 35's with a 6in lift...i dont know whats going on but every time i come up my driveway when turned to the left i can hear it rub a lot but when i look at the tires no damage....its trimmed from before so i dont know what to do anymore? trim some more?

the front shocks arent the stage2 ones its the spacer ontop of the origional shock

not sure if this is the problem, but i rub with 35's also. i think the reason might be the offset or back spacing of your wheels. but i could be wrong.

yea the offset of the wheels is probabaly the main reason, the only thing you canr really do is trim more where it rubs.

i was along ways away from rubbin on my 04 screw with a 6" lift and 35s , any my wheels were -12 offset .......... unleashed , you gotta thank it says it can clear up to 35s with a 6" lift, thats meanin a 4wd truck , but even though u got a 2wd it should clear 35s easily...... my dad has a 04 screw 2wd with a 2.5" levelin kit and its got 33s on it , i thank he could clear 35s though.
