Are you talking about the rear fenders? What's your wheel backspacing?

I have the same problem, but with the 2.5 BDS lift. Rubs a little on the front fenders at full compression and real bad in the rear. I'm probably going to go with a 1" body lift or maybe a longer shackle, not sure yet. Also, with wide tires, mine 12.5", 3.5" bs on 8" wheels is to much. Next time I'm going to a 3" or even a 2.5" bs. Especially since I'll be going to a 10" rim and maybe a wider tire too.

I don't think you can avoid the rub front or rear with 33x12.5's on a 60. If you soa there will be no more rubbing.
If you use a 1" body lift where do you get the new mounts?

there 33x12.50-15/10 with 3 5/8 backspacing (close), but it only rubs on the front.. with the OME lift the back it lifted more than the front. i think it's 2.5'' in the front and 3 in the back.. but if im reallllly flexing they rub on the back too.
