For some others they had to grind down the banjo bolt. A wheel spacer would help too.

Mine rubbed on, if I remember right, the fluid bolt (the one that connects the brake line to the caliper).

I also have the next gen Dakota 15x8 wheels on my Dakota 4x4 (factory height). I filed the control arm/fluid bolt (can't remember which) about 2-3 mm to clear the rubbing during the tightest turn. The spacer option (Crazy4x4RT) should also do but more costly.
