Well yesterday i went and got a harmonic balancer told the guy i needed the seal that goes behind it ( mind went blank i know what it is) he ordered the wrong seal at 45 bucks more then the balancer itself lol. So have to go back and tell me to order the timing cover seal not the crank shaft seal.

Remove the fender flares and see if the tires are still rubbing. If so, get some wheel spacers. If it still rubs after that, break out the grinder and cut a little. If it rubs after all of that work, time for a bigger lift.

Wheel spacers will make it rub worse if its already rubbing.

And as for the tire rubbing. cut the fenders. how much backspacing do the wheels have? mine are 4.5 i believe. it keeps me from rubbing on control arms and helps clear the lower leg of the fenders.
