What's the backspacing on the wheels? Where is it rubbing? How wide are the wheels? On another note got any pics of the truck?

Trim the plastic there.

Shouldn't be rubbing though..... how do your control arm bushings look?

Basicly he has a front spacer and AAL. With 3.75 backspacing (scrubsteer) and an uncentered axle he probably is hitting the left inner fender.
When trimming the inner fender be cautious of the electrical plug under it.
