If your tires sqeal your pushing it on your speed in corners (most of the time), plus you have tall sidewalls so flexing is a factor. You also have to remember that GM (IFS) suspensions are not at a 90 degree vertical axis, thats why GM when articulating and or bottom out hard they tend to crush splash guards i.e. the back part of the fender well, they are canted back to increase the turning radius. See the newer (IFS) Dodges have a 90 degree vertical movement, great ride lousy turning radius, when bottoming out tend to push the top of the fender. A good way to see how your suspension looks is have someone drive your vehicle in an open parking lot and turn in a circle an you will see the angles and how it digs.
