Hey John,

Use the new car wash on Howard lane. It's still FREE right now (one
quarter and drop it through the slot about 10 times). It does an
incredible job on the wash/condition/wax process. :) (Use the hand
wash bays.)

I'm running 33X10.5X15 without a lift and the only rubbing I have is on
the front frame rails. If I take it off road, they will rub the body a
bit when compressed, but for street use, they don't rub.

I'm still working on getting the time to wash the truck so I can take
pictures.
