    Hi all - I had my 2020 Limited lifted and am trying to figure out the best way to keep from having rubbing on my mud flaps. It has a 4" Rough Country lift with 20x9 +1 offset Fuel rims. Tires are 35x12.5-x20 All Terrains.

    I have cut a gap in both sides but the driver side is really the only one that rubbed. I'm not fond of how it looks with the window cut and have thought about replacing them and using a strong hold 3M adhesive to hold them back out of the way.

    Any thoughts are greatly appreciative!!

    Welcome from NY.
    Some people have used a heat gun and pushed it back.
    Any pictures?

    The stock mud flaps are on there now, it went ahead and took them off but would definitely be welcome to any insight. I tried molding them with my heat gun yesterday but that didn't really work. I did cut a window in both of the front flaps but aren't overly happy with the way that looks.

    You could always trim them down for a sleeker factory look.

    I trimmed mine down..

    How do you like the rough country 4” lift? Looking at it for my truck.

    I've been extremely pleased with it. My ride has not changed one bit from stock to the lift which was important for me since we tend to take my truck on road trips.

    if you are talking about the front tire / front... (attached to bumper) i believe i see the "window cut" you made, you may want to consider front bumper shims (or washers) to shift your front bumper forward 1/2".

    i have no idea based on offset and tire size if this will absolutely resolve any rubbing, but it will give you 1/2" additional clearance.

    i needed shims to keep from rubbing front tire / front. running a 3/1 readylift with 34's and 1.25 wheel spacers. instead of factory +60 offset, i am now closer to a +29 / +30 offset.

    i was not able to run the front tire / rear mud flaps though (ones attached near the body mount and where some perform the bmc) with out rub.
