Clearances for tucking rear tires 09-14
Ok, so anyone out there with a 09-14 tucking in the rear? Im either going to have to trim my wheelwell lip or narrow my axle. If I trim the lip, Im going to have to put flares on and trim them some too, or immediately go into some paint work. I didnt want to get into paintwork just yet, but painting a set of flairs is pretty quick and cheap for me, and obviously much cheaper than narrowing the rear.
I also need to notch it (I think I can do it with an under bed notch; dont want to go into the bed). I have looked and searched but not been able to come up with any good pics of ANY notches on this body style up close. Does anybody have any? Pretty sure I have it figured out the way I want to go, but would love to see some others already done as well before I take the bed off and start. Thanks in advance.

Only have one pic on my phone of it in the shop after alignment. Do I have to get it onto my computer or is there a way to get it on here from my phone? If so, ill take an updated pic and post them up! Im electronically challenged ...

Not a great pic, but gives ya'll an idea. The rears are inside the bedsides, but far from clearing the whell well lips. As it sits right now, I cant notch it till I get clearance because its practically on the bumpstops, and it might even drop a little more after the notch. If I get some movement I'm going to start cutting tires. I like it without any flares (my truck never had them) but I might have to put some on after cutting the bed lips, or flare the bedsides a little while the bed is off for the notch

What did you use to get the 6 inches in the front? I’m looking to do this to mine soon. As far as tucking in the bedsides cutting the inner lip is about the only way that it may work or roll the inner lip of the wheel wells if you want to avoid cutting but besides that narrowing rear would be the only other option.

well I just put a set of 305 50 20's on the back of mine with a 8.5 inch rim and a +38 offset. I had a local dude roll the fenders for clearance. Lowered with a flip kit and about 1/2" more in spacers to get the ride height I want. I'll post some pics in a little while. here's a youtube video that might help you that I posted here a while back. I was considering doing the fender pull but turned out not to need it. it looks pretty easy/cheap and effective.
