    Hello all need some advice I put a leveling kit on my truck one of the those front shock spacers and rear leaf block. I was able to put 285/75/16 cooper st maxx on and yeah looks great! the top inside of the tire is close to the upper arm and when I steer I had to remove the mud flaps. other than a body lift now or cutting the right side of the well what can I do? I was thinking of putting spacers all the way around that solves the tire close to the upper arm but what about the well issue

    Do you know what you wheel specs are? If you are close to the UCA thats fine, if you rub there it will slowly destroy your tires. Wheel spacers will probably make you wheel well rubbing worse. Most people just trim the wheel well liner, thats what i did. Just be happy you dont rub the body mount haha.

    I too had to trim the liner in the wheel well. And I am one of the lucky ones that avoided the cab mount.

    No idea whatthe spacing is the wheels are tuff rims 001 modle
    How hard is it to cut the inner well thats against the firewall side? Thats where the flaps rub when they are on. The factory ones anyway.

    I didn't actually touch the fender. I only trimmed the liner. If you didn't know what to look for you wouldn't even be able to tell on my truck that it has been touched.

    Nice truck, which dealership is that with the old FJ out front. I wonder what ridiculous price tag they have on that.

    New shoes are in! Vision Warriors with 265/75-16 Hankook DynaPros. I did have to trim the "bulbs" off of the mud flaps. Put them on just for fitting and Picts. It looks like the studded snows are still needed for a few more weeks...
