Tires Rub
I just purchased a 2001 F250 V-10 4x4 from a guy with only 18,000 miles. The truck has a 3" susp. lift with weld wheels and 33" tires. When I turn hard to the right, all is cool. When I turn hard left, I can hear the tires rubbing against the inside of the wheel well. It doesn't hit the metal fender "Flare" but it has broken the plastic inside the well. Do I need to replace this part? How do I prevent it from happening again? Can I remove or cut away a part of the plastic? And why does it only happen when I turn left and not when I turn right? Any help would be great.

Something is definately up there. I don't know about new F-250's, but I know you can run 35's on the 80-96 F-250 HDs without any body or suspension mods. The fact that you have a new 2001 F-250 SD with a 3" lift and are still having problems with little 33's sounds bad. You should have that checked out right away before anything gets seriously damaged if it isn't already. With a 3" lift on a 2001 F-250 Superduty, I would suspect you could run at least 35's no problem, you could most likely stuff some 38's in there pretty easily too without any problems.

double check they are 33's, make sure you do in fact have a lift, are the spring sin the front only made up of two flat leaves?
