Is anyone rubbing their on their rear driver side fender ?

benbachh · Jan 25, 2019

I have a 2018 screw cab with 17inch methods and 37 inch nitro ridge grapplers. My rear driver side tire is always rubbing on the fender, causing it to pop out of the knuckle... anyone have this issue ? How can i fix it without adding a leaf ? I hate having the rear higher than the front..

My 17 did that with stock tires. didn't pull it apart like that, just wore through. So far not with my 19, but haven't been through the same situations yet either. Btw, when I put Toyo's on is when it wore through the BFG's buffed it for them.

While I was waiting for deavers mine did and looks identical to your pics. You can either get aftermarket fenders, run a smaller tire or get leafs, there's not really any other solutions.

Unless you want to cut the corner off of the fender where it's making contact

I have the rpg 2.5 collars on right now, I just ordered the rpg 3.5 adjustable collars, do you guys know which leaf pack I could get that wouldn’t make the back end higher than the front ?

Deaver 2 is stock height, deaver 3 is +1 inch

What do you mean popping out of the kuckle?

@cwylie On the rear driver side fender, inside the fender lining there's a rod that holds the fender in place. My tires keep on hitting the fender flare which puts force on my fender in the outward positon, making that rod pop out out the knuckle it connects to

I see what your talking about in your third pic... As mentioned previously the only way to fix the rub without raising the rear an inch using Deaver +3 would be smaller tires or new bedsides. I just picked some up myself.

pretty much what you can expect running that tire and rim set up on stock suspension out back.

As others have said you can cut fender, new fenders or add Deaver +3s
