Tire Rubbing Issue
Just wondering if anyone has a good fix for tires rubbing? I have a 2003 6.0L XLT Supercab with 6" lift and 35" tires. The tires rub the springs when turning left or right sharply. I was thinking spacers, but I am afraid they could cause more problems than solutions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I can't get rid of them.

Four options:
1. Narrower tires.
2. Wheels with more negative offset.
3. Steel wheel spacers (2" wide machined steel, not crap aluminum ones).
4. Install stop spacers to limit steering.
Of those four, I would only do #1 or #2. Can't really afford to lose steering on these large trucks, and the steel spacers, though better than aluminum, are still a weak point.
