im not to sure if they really feel worn out there pretty new replaced them in maybe febuary march around there. The trucks a little bumpy but it has a decent ride. I also didnt skimp on them either i bought gabriel max control it was one of the most expensive ones autozone had in stock. Like when i driving home from new york on the beltpark way the road dipped down and the had a sudden dip up and i was going at a decent speed and all i hear is scrape and i smelt burning rubber i prayed it wouldnt blow and it hasnt. It hit again today when i was offroading and its hitting alot thats why its bugging me and the tire has some pretty nice scrapes in it meaning im going 2 have to buy tires eventually

Is that wheel the same as the other 3? Did the guys at the tire store grab a wrong box with different width or backspacing maybe?

I never even had this problem with just a 2" lift and I wheel my truck. I know not all torsion bars are not the same, maybe you have a set of "soft" t-bars.?..

idk all the wheels are the same i looked at all the boxes but ill take a look at the rims would a soft tbar be the reason for the tire going up into the top of the fender though?

Are you missing your shock bump stop on that side?

alright so i got some new pics and a new question... i just replaced the output shaft bearing and the axle seal on the passenger side cv its leaking cv green grease again and my tbars arent cranked that much only 1/2 inch to even out sagging. The drivers side (where the tire is rubbing) is not leaking at all. What does it leaking mean? does it mean it might need 2 be replaced soon?
Also i should note that the passenger tire rubs a little to but barley maybe its rubbed twice but that could have been from offroading

picks shows u where its rubbing


Top of the fender where it rubs







and this pic is of the my bump stop that i replaced about a year and half ago is this what you were talking about oisinirish

"Soft" or "mushy" t-bars (those are factory technical terms by the way) would indeed cause the suspension to bottom out easier than a stiffer set of t-bars.
