Of course I am running 215/40 tires so that is helping me out. I will see if it still rubs when I go with 45 series on my next set of tires. Simon new- '04 Dodge Dakota 4x4.

I have H&R springs with Koni shocks. They rub on the rear fenderlips, even though they're trimmed back. They also rub on the mounting ear for the rear bumper. Up front, they rub the fenderliner a little. All of it to me is tolerable. I wanted to try to fit an 8.5, but I think that'll have to be a custom made wheel (ie HRE, Fiske, etc, etc.). dion 98 SVT, 200 whp/190 lb. ft tq (tuned by ADC), 3.0, P&P heads w/2.5L valves, optimized TB, MSDS, SCA 2.5" catback, SHOshop UIM/LIM, underdrive pulley set, TD's, Koni/H&R, BAER/TCE, Progress, CF1 products
