why does this happen to rub the bumper on tire? We have replaced the spring in the pass, my husband wants to raise it back up to standerd but I like it low any ideas..?

I am guessing it doesn't rub until you guys get IN the truck ? Just let him raise the truck back up another 1in. or so, and that will probably cure the problem.

Take a measuring tape and measure the height of both sides. The driver's side may still be lower than the passenger side. Also check the tires and make sure they are the same size.
Check the driver's side for prior damage and see if it is bent in any at all. It wouldn't take much.
Measure the rear axle and see if it is clamped down with one side being farther to the driver's side than the passenger's side.
Last resort......put smaller size tires on the S-10.
Good luck. Pops

please measure the wheel base on both sides first. break out the tape measure and front tire hook the rim's trailing edge and rear wheel leading edge. Measure both sides then you will know if the drivers front wheel is sitting to far foward. If both wheels are the same then check if the bumper has been pushed to the rear, Break out the Tape measure again rear of the front bumper both sides to the middle of the back wheel or either side of the rear wheel... If the first measurement is not the same. Sounds like your rub will be found!

get smaller tires.
better yet, find what it rubs against, grab a grinder, cut that **** off.

put some air shocks on it so you can adjust it for the weight and look you want.
