You can correct the rubbing by cutting the plastic around the front of the tire that connects to the bumper, and a little behind the tire although you might have to grind a little flimsy metal off. But if you are runnin 10.50's on stock rims lift will not correct the rubbing i put a 3" rough country on mine and still rubbed and you have to get new rims because the tires are so wide they will rub the control arms and frame.

im looking at a 3.5 in lift my tires are 31x10.5 and they are on american racing outlaw 2 rims and they stick out quite a bit what u are hearing is the back tire on the lip around the fender.

i know i need a lift just thought i would let ppl know what it does if u dont have a lift with 31s

if i take a pic of my tires in the light u can see groves on the first inch of the tread from the lip
