Default Re: Oversize tires

Nice looking truck brother!! OK, I'm definitely not a mechanic and I don't know what all the suspension parts are called but: There's a steel rod (bar) that attaches to the top of the differential housing and runs forward to a bracket on the frame. The corner of that bracket sticks out enough so that the inside of the tire sidewall of 37x13.5x17's rubs against it. It wasn't a problem with 35x12.5x17's but now it looks like that bracket could cut into the sidewall if you hit a big enough bump or dip. What do you think? You don't have any problem with yours rubbing there? Again, I have no lift kit.
