If you are running High steer (don't remember if you are) quick fix that would help a little would be to redrill the front spring perch and move the axle forward an inch or so..I need to do the same thing on mine..

edit--never mind..just saw you have the stock push pull steering...

had the same problem when i was running 33x12.50s. I did a cheap fix by taking the springs off and having a shop drill some new center holes about 3/4" forward. (i tried drilling them myself at first but they ain't kiddin' when they call it "hardened steel"). 3/4" wasn't enough to mess with the stock steering configuration but got me more than enough clearance to stuff my 33s!

Your truck's lookin good, i like your interior work, i'm getting ready to do some of that myself.

Hey there no1clipsmyclaws, that really sucks about your Toy. Looked like it was real clean to start with. U could cut the top off and put a full cage in. At least the roof wouldn't b dented anymore. Lol, jk. Good luck with it and keep the updates coming.
