I don't have any rubbing at all with my 15's or my 18/20 combo. I do scrape my a-arms on nasty roads and some exhaust scrapes from my 40 degree driveway back in WA when running the 15's. Other than that, I have some great Monroe shocks and I learned how to "read the road" at a young age...probably why it feels weird to drive a 4x4 right now and not have to dodge or travel down certain roads.

Thanks. I love them, too. I agree with the "reading the road" as well. You definitely learn to keep your eyes open. We are pretty lucky to have good roads around here for the most part. I have a 70 mile commute, and there are days I drive the truck to work. Haven't had any problems on the highways at all, but you ave to pay attention in teh neighborhoods the most. That's been my experience, anyhow.

x2. Do your rear tires make anything more difficult? It sure looks wicked.
