Triimming Valence on Fabtech 7.5"

Hey guys, well I have had my Fabtech 7.5" lift on my truck since October and I absolutely love it. However, it still rubs when my wheels are turned to the side and I turn into a bump or a ditch. It seems that it is rubbing on the part of the plastic that is behind the wheel, not the front valence.

I have trimmed the front valence, but I am not sure if I have trimmed enough. Does anyone with the same setup have some pictures of how much they trimmed, and anyone experienced this problem with the rubbing on the plastic behind the tire?


Thanks

Sometimes you can drill two holes through the plastic and use a zip tie to pull the plastic back for a little clearance.

Never thought of that, I will have to try it. Wandel, I am not sure if it still rubs the front valence. Is it probably more likely that I need to trim higher up rather than further towards the front?

If it's touching the front valance, it's probably the lower corner. I have pics in my gallary of were I had to trim.
