37x13.5xR20 Mazzi Hulks on Grapplers. Lots of rubbing while turning about 1/2 crank. I've done some trimming to get there, and I will continue to do more. I am calling Sportztrailers.net to get me sent new coilovers. I called them and told them to call me back asap when the customer service rep was in the room (for some reason she was out...uh huh). Anyways, no call after about 4 days. Kinda fishy. I think I'm going to have a real hard time with these guys but I would definitely be willing to go as far as court to get new coilovers. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the comments.

When and if you do them, make sure you get video. Story's are nothing but. I have some great stories but don't bother telling them without video to back it up, or at least pics. Take care.

Josiah...Hey, I know you don't have your coilovers replaced yet, but can you take a pic of how bad your tires rub? I especially want to see how bad it is when you crank down on your coilovers when you get them. Also, did you get an alignment after the new tires? Sometimes (not much), that helps with rubbing too. My 35's rubbed a little because the alignment didn't get done until the next day after my new tires. What is it...the caster? I can't remember. LOL Anyway, after that...no rubbing (on the rear part of the fender flare).

I really want to get 37 x 13.50's but I don't want to add a body lift.

I'll have to get those pics for you. I hate pics, I'll get a video instead, much easier on me. I do not have my truck aligned yet, there are no 4 wheel alignment shops around here I know of and my alignment doesn't seem too bad but I'm not sure.

Dude, video is cool...I got a cable modem. I get my alignment done at Firestone (believe it or not). I got a lifetime alignment for only $120, I'm pretty sure it is a 4 wheel alignment...they lift the whole truck up and make adjustments with the rear tires too. I get it aligned evertime I get an oil change. They do a good job...because, I took it to the shop I get all my work done to have it checked...and they said it was right on.
