Take hammer and flatten it or cut it off.. Your gonna have to do some trimming with 26's. mostly in the back.. A shop did it for me though so not sure exactly what they cut but they cut out a few spots.

Yea wut makes it worse is my tires are 305/30r26

I'm not sure... I wouldn't buy new tires if you don't have to.. Just figure out what it's rubbing on and flatten that piece of metal.

You will need to trim the plastic in the back as well the front. The only metal that rubbed my wheel was from the drivers fender behind the plastic to the right if you are looking at the wheel.

I ultimately removed my lowering kit because I could not get it to stop rubbing with the 305s and I did not want to cut or trim anymore off the truck.

You can run 295/25/26 and that will end all your rubbing issues but a good tire in that size will set you back $240ea

I'm getting use to riding back high, its not so bad lol
