Rubbing at full lock? On the control arm? Some steering knuckles on certain year Rams, have a limiting bolt you can adjust so the the wheels won't turn as far.

thats the thing. i can't see any visual evidence on the tire or fender. i'll have to have my wife hop in and turn it while i look and see where its hitting. is there THAT much size difference in the 285's?

If it rubs the control arm, you will FEEL it. If it hits the inner fender, you will only hear it unless it is so bad its tearing it off.

Sorry, I don't want to go back and look. Do you have stock wheels? Because if you do, 285's and a 3" lift should not rub anywhere, from what I've read on here.
