They do rub a little when I hit bumps. I did the heat gun mod to the rear of the fender well, but I think it is rubbing on the top portion because it will rub with the wheels straight when I hit a big enough bump. I am going to have to see where it is hitting and see what adjustments I can make. Does anybody have any suggestions?
dude you got to post pics. where's that icon that says "this thread is useless without pics".

rubbing is easy. after you take a few turns take your wheel off and look in the wheel well. You will see where it's rubbing. go get a heat gun and heat that area up and push it in with a rag. You should only have to go in like a 1/2 " or so.

Yeah I know that. I already did that though. It isn't rubbing when I turn, it is rubbing when I hit dips in the road. So it is rubbing somewhere in the top of wheel well I imagine.
