Re: 3" lift and tires still rub???
I have a 3" lift with no rubbing but I am also running the stock 17" alloy wheels with Nitto TG.... some things that impact it is whether your lift is really giving you a full 3" or more like 2.5 inches once it is said and done. Most give 3" in rear and less in front...ToyTec includes a new coil over strut bracket to replace the oem one that is thicker to make sure you get full 3" in front also.
Then you have the wheels that if the offset is different that will affect the clearance. Finally you have tires...some 33inch tires are 32.5 while others may be 33.2......depending on tread aggressiveness and such.
I know mine do not rub one bit....but when you stray away from stock wheels and the OME lift I cant help. Sounds like you will indeed have to do the frame chop on your truck....
