I have an 03' Z71 Tahoe; installed new shocks, torsion keys and 1.5" rear coil spacers. Also, wrapped Nitto Terra Grapplers (295-70-17) on the stock wheels. The rear tires tend to rub the inside wheel well...especially when turning into a steep driveway. I was thinking about putting some wheel spacers....any other suggestions (besides buying new wheels with BS)? I don't off road much...beside driving on the beach. I also tow a boat often so I am wondering if i should have gone with larger coil spacers. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.

My truck used to rub on the plastic that covered the upper shock bolt on each side. (If this is where your's is rubbing) The plastic finally got ripped half way out and I just cut the plastic cover off. No more rubbing though.

Agreed. Also, if it isnt already; rotate the top shock bolt so that the head is on th outside and the nut on the inside.
