I've got 17x9 wheels with 33x12.50's. The tires stick out at least a couple of inches from the fender well. They sling anything and everything all over the truck. I need to get some fender flares but they are too expensive for me right now. It takes about two and a half minutes to cover the truck in mud if I want to. Even if I crawl around, I get mud on the hood!

Yeah, the 2005's have an IFS with torsion bars, just not springs like the 06's I believe.
I think the previous owner may have cranked the torsion bars to add an inch in the front as it sits quite level. I have done nothing to it myself though and no rubbing at all.
