You have fabtech on stock wheels? Are you 4x2 or 4x4? Can you post up some pictures.

That's because your tie rod ends are rubbing against your wheels when you turn tight. Look at the inside of the wheel and you'll see some nice shiny aluminum showing through. Mine rubs like a bitch on the factory rims on tighter turns. So I don't use the factory rims unless I absolutely have to.
