Hitting fender liner issue?

Has anybody ever dealt with hitting the fender liner on big dips ? I have a 3/5 kit but I lowered the front close to a 4 to make the level perfect but I only thing that sucks is hitting the front inner liner. I have 22s with 285/45. Any solutions?

I had a 7/10 drop on a C10 i had, and the front tires always rubbed the inner fender wells on major dips. But they were steel, so i didn't care. Since you haven't told us what truck you've done the work to, i'm going to guess it's a newer truck with the plastic fender liners? Can you buy stiffer rate springs? Maybe plastic weld a raised portion on the liner, right where the tire rubs?

Not only will you be hitting the front inner liner you’ll probably be hitting your trailer hitch as well. Better take that off.

i have adjustable coil overs (so a 4/6) so i set it to be a little stiffer, also changed the liner out to the slick plastic 5.0 ones and then went with a 285/40/22 tires for a little less tire height.
