I have the Dexter e-z flex suspension and I have 1 tire that is rubbing the slide out frame bracket it appears that the shackle or the e-z flex is screwed up. HELP trying not to have to take it to the shop. You can see there is only 3/4" of clearance and hitting bumps make contact(see rub marks on tire)

Hard to make anything out with that photo, maybe back up a bit to get some reference. I can't really tell anything from the angle and detail, or lack of same.

Are you sure the springs and ride height is OK?Is the frame to tire clearance the same on both sides?Hangers and frame are square?

Hard to tell from pic but doesn't look like an axle problem but a frame clearance issue. What is that metal thing that's trying to poke your tire? Part of the frame?

The slideout on the other side doesn't have that bracket
