Yeah mine rubs in the same place on slight inclines with the wheel turned. I just can't bring myself to trim....yet
I don't want to trim either , but I don't want to crush the fender with the tire.

Have you looked into a 1" body lift?
Move the front diff 1" forward...you can do this simply by redrilling the perches and spring plates. It helps a ton for tire clearance.
I usually don't have issues with cutting trucks a little here and there, but yours is very 'unmolested'. It'd be a shame to cut and trim at this point IMO.

I agree with Rene, cutting that truck would just be sad, move the axle forward, and if you do end up cutting do yourself a favor and cut a very small amount at a time. You can usually trim just enough to clear but not really make the outside of the fender look any different.
Redrilling the perches and stuff is super easy though and you wouldn't have to trim, cause you know trimming a truck that clean will kill 10 kittens and 10 puppys.............................................................just sayin

No , not at this time.
My issue would be worse if I moved the axle forward. The second photo shot from the front with the wheels turned to the left , the tire is touching the fender. When I turned the wheels straight the tire pulled the trim of the fender.
I hear you about not wanting to cut metal , but I did a lot of thinking about that and decided I was willing to trim a little. Otherwise I would have left it stock.

I have the same tire/rim and lift size. Mine rub just a touch, but I wouldn't put a 1" body lift. Then it wouldn't fit in the garage anymore. Thats just how close it is.
I have just been watching when I turn into driveways and such. Sometimes I slow down a bit and turn the wheel more to get the edge of the tire past the corner of the fender.
What about trimming the edge off the fender, and folding the trim over?
