Default Why are they rubbing

i have a 97 dakota 4x4 extended cab. i have 3 inch blocks in the rear and torsion bars cranked up a bit. i am running 32 inch steel radial all terrains and they rub pretty bad. why do you other guys have no problems with 32's at just a stock height?

Check you front bumper and such. You may need to cut the corner of the fenderwell off. Or check you mudflaps if you ahve them. you may need to screw them up against the body more.
Hey rev, do you have any clips of your exhaust? and what;s your set-up?

I just got the mbrp roll pan and exhaust kit in the other day..how ever i can not put it on yet because.. ( a few weeks ago i went off roading and backed in to a tree stump and it pushed my bumper into my bed a couple inches (cant open the tailgate)..so before i get the roll pan on i have to get it painted and the dent pulled.. but as soon as i get it all together i will have pictures!!

Haha I'm curious about the Exhaust, because I don't like my Dynomax. It sounds nice but the baffle keeps going in it making it rattle.
