Didnt know the details. It actually wasnt rubbing, but it was hitting. Go get some stock wheels.

I hope that (lol) wasnt directed towards my first answer. If it was, thats just not cool to insult the people that try to help instead of trolling the site. Not good etiquette.

NO NO... the 'lol' wasn't directed towards you at all... sorry if you took it that way... not going with the stock rims cause I payed for the rims already... can't just 'take them back'... they aren't hitting that much at all... just at full turn... I took the trim apart just above the running board... it's all cosmetic up there, so I should be able to trim it up and put the plastic cover back on.. barely noticable... hopefully.. planning on getting some flares as well, so that will cover up any defects should there be any...
And as for a lift kit... I can't even go that route anymore... I'm in the military, and am transfered to Nova Scotia this summer... they are passing a by-law as of June 1st that states no lifted or lowered suspension of any sorts or will fail MVI... BULL*$!T if you ask me.. hopefully I will be able to get away with just the leveling kit... otherwise I truly am SCREWED!!!

Sorry for bringing it up then. Sometimes You just cant tell on these forums.

The truck looks great. After you fix your tire problem, whats next? Fender Flares? Bed cover?
Im definetly going to 315's when the time comes.

Ya I know what you mean... hard to tell what people are sometimes trying to say... especially if there is some sarcasm/humour involved...
Definetly going to have to get some Flares for it... thinkin about the Bushwacker Pocket flares... have seen some pics of them, look pretty sweet. Dunno if I'll get a tonneau or not though... I have a dirtbike and motorcycle, so it's pretty convenient to just not have one sometimes... plus with the dog and all, would sort of be a hassle...
I am waiting for my Edge Evolution programmer to show up now, can't wait to start playing around with that... any tips about the programmer out there???

That sure is a nice looking truck. Too bad you can't through on a 6" lift, that would look sweet!
