I've got a 1991 B2200 2WD bagged with stock 14" wheels and the skinniest tires that I can find for my application. When I drop the rear to park or when I drop to drag, the tires rub the inside of the outer panel of the bed. I know I can put a narrowed rear end in it or put 4X4 bed on it, but I was looking for a little less expensive mod that I could do myself. Any suggestions?

Well , i grabbed the bed side at the wheel arch and pulled real hard to sorta bow it out a bit on mine to get the clearance i needed . LOL . I still have to do some trimming and reinforcing in mine so it'll stay out and not move back in when i lean on it . LOL .  
Of course i drag my tag .

find some z71's or gmc yukon wheels with low pro tires... other than that...4x4 bed or a rearend out of the older bodystyle mazda/courier will work. dont just grab the bedsides and pull because if you *** it up really bad you will be worse off. later bro.

they make a fender well roller but most people use a baseball bat of a pipe just set it on top of the tire and roll the truck forward while putting just a little pressure the the fender well...little by little it will "flare" the bed side

don't drag. Don't drag if your tires rub. That's just no bueno and it smells bad hahaha. I mean, not that I'd know or anything...

you got to change your off set of your rims to a +15 or higher, what i did is went with the 4x4 bed and fender combo and i had to roll the inside lip works great, pissed the DOT off though!
