Default Tires Rubbing Fender

I have a PDS with the drop axle lift and 22" tires. The front tires rub the fender pretty often. I assume that the front shocks are shot so what can I do to stiffen the front suspension up?

The springs carry all the weight. The shocks dampen the spring rate. Sounds like you will need HD front springs... the rears may be weakened too this will allow even more body roll.

Also, Check the front springs closely for broken leafs.

I have a 5" lift with 22" tires. I was using stock rear leaf springs until we started rubbing the rears. I have a rear seat too. I won some hd rear leafs and installed them and it went away. I would say that front hd leafs would correct your problem

Springs and shocks are relatively cheap. Replace them all and forget them.
