What about a pinch seam? How close is too close? I have a 3" lift and 35" and it seems a little close to me... I have new rear lower arms too, it's also too cold here to do any paint work until spring... Wisconsin problems

Have you cycled the suspension? You may need to cut a little off the pinch seam and rocker

Is it hitting when your driving on the highway?

I haven't, however I really can't do anything about it until spring rolls around, it's 15 degrees here. I go back to school soon where it's a little warmer... Ill just have to real with it until then... And I'm not sure if its hitting or not. At times I think it is but it seems to be cycling pretty well. Ill cut when I get back to school in a week... Do you think it'll okay till then Chris?

there are actually lots of write ups for trimming the pinch seem and rubi rockers. I believe there are a couple on YouTube as well. I cut mine off which took only a couple minutes eash side. Filled the gap with JB Weld. Sanded and painted for looks.
