Default Lift installed and my 35s are rubbing the rock rails...

I put a Rusty's 3.25 lift on this weekend and a set of used MTZ 35x12.50 16s. I started up a hill in the backyard with passenger front tire first and heard a nasty sound behind me. I looked and the tires are suspiciously close to the rock rail.

I havent read of anybody on here having to trim rails with 35's especially with 3 inches or over.


Anybody have any ideas??


I will try to get some pics later today....
