So far there is no rub and I did no trimming. I've only had the lift for a couple of days but I can tell it's a little stiffer, which is to be expected but not bad at all. The rake isn't to bad, just about 1 inch. As for the lift it was between this one and the BDS but I wanted to run 35's without rubbing and the guys I had install the lift told me the zone was the way to go! so far they seem right and I love it.
