Default How to Stop Tire Rub

I have a 98 K2500 with 285x75 tires on it and since I have gotten the tires I have been getting a little bit of tire rub when the front end flexes. It only seems to be rubbing a little bit and mainly on the plastic fender flares. I just noticed today that one of the screws that hold the fender flare on seems to have been ripped out from the rubbing. Does anyone here have any suggestions as to what might be the fastest , easiest or best way to fix my problem? Should i just give the torsion bars a crank?

I would try the torsion bar adjustment first.

Yeah your front is probably sagging a little and a slight tweak to the torsion bars should fix you right up. I am running 285's on my 98 2500 with no rub at all. I didn't adjust the torsion bars either, but since I just bought the truck a few months ago I don't know if the previous owner messed with them. Here's mine...
