Some pix of the rubbing. Don't think it's the boards after all.

Left rear:

I think the really gnarly sounding rubbing was the tire rubbing the "step" in the right front fender liner. Actually some melting or "peeling" of the liner right by the step.

What do you guys do to fix this? I've heard of using a heat gun and deforming the liner. Think that'll be enough?

In the rear, will the heat gun be enough there too? Any idea what's behind the protrusion in the liner forward of the wheel @ 10 o'clock?

Hope Tony posts his video soon. I'm sure that will give me some guidance.

Got the alignment done this morning.

Sent my deposit to Black Bear Performance for the in-person tune in Indy August 10th.

Got my tire rubbing eliminated with heat gun and some trimming. Installed the sway bar end links, too. Finally got my GMC center caps from Marcellino.

Still want it lower in front and rear. Hope to end up around 33 1/2 up front and 34 - 34 1/2 in rear. Been really busy at work with shutdown and re-tooling for the next gen pickups.
