Added 325's, rubbing, got a question

I just put on 325/60 nitto terra grapplers and it barely rubs when I turn full lock on the lower aluminum arm. You guys think it would work alright just taking a torch or hax saw or something and notching out a couple of inches? That should solve the rubbing problem.

just kidding , being stupid, its not bad enough to mess with, barely noticeable.

Oh cr@p!!
Here I was getting ready to spend that hard earned tax refund on the Bilstiens and Nitto 325s (cause it looks awesome on your truck) and now you have rubbing? Heh, heh.
I didn't see a picture, how bad IS the rubbing???
Also, I wouldn't tamper with the lower control arm. Those are analyzed during engineering to utilize every mm.

Hardly anything, no worries, I just wanted to be stupid.

But I was just joking, you would not really want to mess the that aluminum arm. By the way, your truck looks awesome
