if it cut them down to the wires then yes. if its just a little rub dont worry about it. jsut dont haul 350 lbs again :crazy:
Is this bad?
I was helping a friend move a weekend ago and it's the first time i've ever hauled anythign with my 4/6. He didn't have a bunch of stuff but he did have a weight bench and some weights about 350lbs worth. anyway i loaded those up and we drove back his new apt. That load didn't bring the back down but a couple inches. I mean over little bumps i could feel the axle hitting the bumpstop (or the tires hitting the fenderwell) but nothing major. After unloading it looks like the tires sidewalls may have rubbed a little on the fenderlip. Does that make my tires more vulnerable to a blowout? How bad is it?

It probally didn't hurt it any, you may want to trim yur fender lips if ya ever haul again though. If the tire looks bad from the rubbing then just have a shop flip the tires around on the wheels.
if you roll your fender lips, you shoulnt have a problem.
I am going to get a rear level kit sometime in the future
all it needs is a little trim, hell I put easly 500lbs of sand bags in my truck with a 4-6 and it was fine, on the bumpstops but fine. I filled my bed of my old bagged one with no probs and a step thru the bed.KOEHRSENLB said:haha this is the reason i will never do a static drop of more than 4 in the rear...i still use my truck as a truck too much.
Yeah im running 255/70's right now and when i get 20's i want to run 275/45's or some other 30" tire for the ride, plus it fills the well up a little better IMO. I plan on getting Intro twisted vistas.
I had a couple hundred pounds of sand in my truck no problem. Just had o pack the bags around the hole and air tank.KOEHRSENLB said:haha this is the reason i will never do a static drop of more than 4 in the rear...i still use my truck as a truck too much.
Yeah,....thats why i need a custom backspacing wheel. What offsets do you have? I figure youre running a 20x8 and a 20x10 on each sidemood_indigo said::word:

20x8.5 with 6 inches BS and 20x10 with 7.5 inches BS
I hauled something weighing 250 pounds, and my truck sat on the bumpstops. What a ride
I'd say roll the fender lips to be on the safe side
