Mine does too.. I frickin hate it. Can't wait to get mine outta there.

If I back down to 33's think it will still clear with no body lift?

PM CAPTSOLO. He has a mid-80's K5 on 37's but it has a D-max/alison driveline in it. it's pretty bullet-proof. I'm sure he has a pic or two that he could post up.
