Default What are my options?

Ive got the SS wheels and tires on my truck. I cant remember the exact size of the tire, but they are 20's just like my old foose wheels, but larger tire. I rub only turnedto the left, on the front of the wheelwell. Ive already put spacers in which helped the left side, but the passenger side still hits the front of the fenderwell plastic. Is my only choice to get different size tires?

options? as in can you adjust the amount of drop? if that's what you mean, then no. i'll bet you have drop springs up front.

Wrong. Your ground force coil springs have an adjustable bolt on the bottom of the spring to help adjust ride height

I was joking man. Coil springs don't have bolts on them. Sorry I figured everybody would know I was kidding

Yes right now you have blue 1" Ground Force springs. If i were you I'd find some stock coil springs for the front. Either that or buy some coil spring spacers.

I picked up some stock coil springs for $50 shipped

Coil springs are a walk in the part to swap out. I've swapped probably 10 different sets.

Those are your only real options aside from buying new tires.
