Also, what do the rims have to do with it? Just so I can fix the issue. I never tore my tires up until I took my front sway off. I am going to trim more and have picked up edge trim and black silicone in hopes to fix the cutting.

A hammer and a grinder fixes the issue for good

^ This
I run 33's with no swaybars on a 3.5" lift. I trimmed my fenders and hammered the inner pinch seam flat. However I also extended my bump stops so at full stuff I have 1/2" between the tire and inner fender

By pinch seam, do you mean the rear? My tires were only cut up in the front, due to the tire being pushed up into the trimmed fender metal, leaving cuts and chunks missing. The rear sway is gone, and I don't have an issue. I'm getting a higher lift (from 3ish to 6.5) and will be looking into bumpstopping. I have to read up on it to understand it more lol.

Ahh, makes sense now. I think I know what you're talking about. Would you recommend actual bumpstops or does the hockey puck method work lol.

I'm assuming the puck method is a bad choice to go with. I'm already looking at bumpstops. Something like this - http://www.quadratec.com/products/76058_74X_PG.htm Would that size be fine, or am I looking for a different size?
Thanks for the info, guys!
