I was told ny the body shop guy that it is possible that this issue is caused by the factory wheels and tires coming up and grabbing the inner fenders with stock suspension. this explains why it is happening to more of the stock trucks. my lift and wheels/tires were put on after 5k miles. i now have 14k. the cracks on my truck could have started when the truck was stock and since i have lifted it it could have stopped the cracking process.
Very interesting theory, MudLoving. Not to mention, pretty damn logical.

After all this worry and speculation about aftermarket accessories being the suspected culprits, wouldn't it be ironic as hell if bigger tires and lift kits were not only eliminated as being the cause of this problem . . . . . but in fact, they very well might be the cure??
