Default new 35's rubbing!

I've been told I can put 35's on my 08 megacab with a 2" leveling kit, but now that its all on they rub on the outside of the bottom rear part of the fender. Does anyone have any easy fixes? I don't really want to cut on the metal, and can't afford a suspension lift. The new rims are XD rockstars with 325/65/18 Nitto dune grapplers with a 0 offset if that matters.

evomega,

first im hoping that your mega is a 4x4. If it is a 2" leveling kit will fit 35s assuming that the offset is identical to the stock offset. The XD Rockstars are not the same therefore you get rubbing. The biggest size your can fit w/o rubbing on those wheels are 33x12.5.

Uhhh, No.

'T-Bars' = Torsion Bars = The type of spring used in the front suspension setup of certain 3rd gen Rams.

They are NOT sway bars of any type.

'Cranking the T-Bars' refers to re-indexing the torsion bars to slightly raise the spring rate of them, thereby raising the front end height.
