instead of grinding the wheel well, try rolling the inner lip with a large diameter pipe, you can youtube a tutorial for it, when i did this to mine it gave me exactly what i needed, and if you pry down on the tube when rolling the wheel you can actually "stretch" or "pull" the fender, making it so the wheel wont stick out as much as it did before. how wide are the wheels youre running?

it would help if you could post some pictures of the wheel completely hanging so we can see up in the well. ^_^

if anything just re-index your torsion bars so itll lift your truck up a bit? :hmm:

its not the top of the wheel well or the outside of the wheel well. its on the inside behind the driver side and passenger door. it happens when i make sharp turns is when it rubs. i think i just got to big of a tire size
