I have 2" spindles and I'm putting in 2" springs this weekend. I bought nitro drop shocks for the front. I imagine my tire is going to rub every now and then. Have you guys done anything to reduce or eliminate the rubbing? I don't want to be cruisin down 295 at 80mph and rub a tire. All I can picture is NASCAR when they blow tires from rubbing all the time. Should I bang out my wheel wells. I have p215 15" 65 series tires. any suggestions? oh, and no, I don't want to get new tires(haha).

im running 2'' spindles and 2'' coils, i have almost 1.5'' of clearance. i also have nitro drop shocks. i rub in just about every tight turn. I dont think it is enough to blow a tire. i think i would like to modify my inner fenders a little bit this summer when i paint my truck so that i will clear.

I have a 2 inch Spindle drop up front, and 2 inch blocks out back. I only rub when im at full turn in my driveway. Going down the road I dont rub at all. I steer clear of potholes. :)
