35's w/ 6" lift - rubbing issues?
 

Have 6" skyajcker kit and 35" Nitto trail graps at home. Anyone have issues with 35's rubbing with a 6" lift? Would like to know if I am going to be doing some cutting before I have kit put on.

I have a 6" fabtech on my 08 f150 and 35 12.50R18 trail grapplers and they did rub even after the alighnment. So I had to cut the front valance it was at full lock on both sides and my crew cab with a 6.5ft bed turns like a school bus so it had to be done lol

It didnt rub on the inner fenderwell?

I have a 6" Fabtech lift with 35" Trail Grapplers and mine rub in the rear inner fender well. There are some here who will tell you their's do not ever rub but I find it hard to believe. Mine will rub just coming into my slanted driveway at an angle. They don't hit hard but there is black transfer on my white plastic. I am not looking forward to seeing what happens when I wheel it harder which I haven't done yet since I just got it a while ago. You do want to check the backspacing on your rims though as that can make a difference.

My rims are 4.5"bs. Thats the largest you can use with skyjacker kits bc of the steering knuckle setup they use.

I dont think mine rub the inner fender well just the valance is all I could see but when I turn and hit a dip it dose rub somewhere not shure tho.

It all depends on the width and backspacing of the wheels you use. You may have rubbing with a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of BS and none at all with a 9 inch wide wheel and 5 inches of BS.

35's and a 6 inch lift? no way

So are you saying they wont rub or they wont fit?

They will fit, you may have some issues with your front valnce but i ran 35's on my 06 with a 3" body lift and i run 35's on my 10' now with a 6" lift and i rub some on the front valance not on the inner fender wall.

At was at homedepot this weekend and parked next to a f150 with a 6" kit. decided to look at the front valance and now I see what everyone is talking about. he trimmed the corner of the plastic. What is everyone using to cut the valance with?

I used a saw zaw but a cutting disc for a grinder would work fine

Did it leave ruff edges? was thinking about use a skill/jig saw with plastic cutting blade on it. (its what I have)

might rub on the valance but thats a easy trim

no rough edges its pretty smooth if i still had the truck i would take a pic but i might be cutting the valance on my 10' if i do i'll take some pics
