What sort of rubbing, and where?

The original version of the hanger bracket for the gas tank skid was shaped in such a way that the driver's side leaf spring hit it (and gouged it a bit). A few of us have modified ours in different ways to deal with that, and I think the newer plates have a redesigned bracket.  That's the only rubbing I've noticed in over 2 years.

I should add that the gas tank skid was the only one I did not remove at 30K miles for servicing, so I can't say what it looks like under there. So far no gas leaks though.

Yeah Frank we talked about that one time. Mine is rubbing on the bracket, and sometimes it sounds like it all is rubbing.
