Outer? Interesting, especially with stock rims. What do they look like?
Got a picture? Pics are worth thousands of words!

I shoulda been a but clearer...do you have a pic of the contact points...like the tire touching sheet metal?
Here's why...you'd be the first person I've seen that has that kind of contact with sheet metal with your combination.
Whats the actual tire size?

305 70 r16... i have the truck torn apart right now,,, fenders doors bed and hood are all off.... it will be a few weeks before any panels go back on... i am hoping to get the lift on before any body panels go back on... just because all the work is a bit easier to do

control arm sounds right and to fix that you need wheel spacers or rims with less backspacing

All I have is a 2.5 in leveling kit from rough country. and I have 33 13.50s and they clear. My truck is also a off road edition so that helps a little. but all you should need is that 2.5 in spacer from rough country. only $100 and about 2 or 3 hours of work. Im about to get a 5 in long arm kit and might be getting rid of old suspension if theres any parts you might want.
