Well, I don't have 52's but the axle is moved 1.5" forward. When things compress the action of shackle moves everything back quite a ways so I don't have troubles except at full lock and full throttle on one side.
When the tire is turned away from the inner it clears by a ton. When the tire is turned towards the inner (because of scrub radius...I have 4.25" of b.s. by the way) the outmost corner on the lugs contacts slightly, I can hear tiny thumps over the motor and people have told me what's going on.

ive already lost my inners, and i am planning on a pretty serious fender trim. but the front is really the least of my concerns. those 63's are gonna make me cut a bunch out of the rear.
i am even considering notching the firewall to try to fit some 42's.

I'm running the 42s and 63s and I didn't end up trimming too much. I haven't done the front yet so no help there. I could get you some new pics in the morning of the 42s and 63 rear flex/clearance. Its pretty insane.
Gonna try bumpstops and if that doesn't help I'm just cutting the inside wall of the fender well and trimming a little floor. Hoping to leave the hump intack.
do your 63's have any arch to them when mounted? mine are damn near flat, only until i took out the back seat and the tailgate did they really start to show any arch. im guessing when i take the top and doors off the back of the truck will jump up two inches.
Very little arch. I'm using the 2" lowering shackles for height and haven't ran a tailgate, doors, or top in a few years.
ive got 52's up front with a zero rate, and in the back, a flip and switch, with 6 inch shackles, my 63's and had to add a 2 inch block to level it out. i really hate that block in there, but will have to do for now.
