How bad will it rub...

[613RAMSPORT]

I have a 2017 Ram - Bilsteins at 2.1 and 3" PA body lift.
I've been running 35s on the stock wheels and a 9mm spacer for 2 years with very very minimal rub

I'm getting 20x12 -44 installed today with my 35x12.5s - the shop just called saying the truck is almost ready but it's "rubbing"

Everything I've read said it shouldn't be bad but the tone in the guys voice is scaring me...any experience on how bad it could be?

I have a 4” lift with bils at 1.4 20x12 with 35x13.5 tires. I rub on the inside bottom of the front bumper on drivers side only. If I were to trim off about an inch off the inside edge of bumper it would stop. However I’m getting the go rhino front bumper so I’m not going to bother trimming. Your overall lift is close to what I’m running so you might have to do some minor trimming.

I expected some minor triming, but like I said his voice on the phone has me way too worried. I'll know in an hour I guess when I go get it. Really appreciate the quick answer @2014greatwhite

Off topic slightly from your original post...
How do you like the 3” PA body lift?

So, did you just ask the installer the same question? If they have done this before, what's there advice?

Did you go look at it for yourself? I find it difficult to answer some simile questions here... When the answer is obvious. Talk with the installer...

Then if you don't get the answer you like... Maybe take pictures and submit to the group here. It's all a judgement call on your end.

Forgot to come back to follow up - turns out it was rubbing really bad on the mud flaps (so I removed them) and then it rubbed pretty good on the fender liner at full lock (which was a problem because it was pulling the liner up) and also hitting the pinch weld.

I cut the pinch welds back a bit, and cut off 3 inchs of the crash bar behind the fender liner and zip tied it back, now I have ZERO rub at all

@bfill_rebel in terms of height, everyone says it looks amazing, even people who hate lifted trucks have complemented mine of sitting "perfectly" with the 20x12s and 35s.

Thanks for the follow up. Leaning towards level links, 3” PA body lift and 35s on my Rebel in next couple months.

Any pics of your old and new step up (the pic link in your replay above isn’t showing)

How have you liked the PA 3” body lift?

Id post some but clearly I can't figure out how too...can anyone help?

I have no problems with the body lift, easy to install and much cheaper than a 4" susp lift and they sit roughly the same height, maybe a touch higher (with the BL)

Thanks for posting and downloading the app at that matter. Great looking truck. The top pic with the body lift, wide wheels, and no steps is a great setup.
