    Tires rubbing

    So I leveled my 98 2500HD 2wd and put on some 285's. When I turn hard right the right tire rubs the frame and the left tire rubs the sway bar. But there is no issue when turning hard left. Has anyone ever experienced this? Does anyone know how to correct this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
