    Very possible you will need to do the Cab Mount Chop and trim some of the front fender.

    Will you be doing technical trail driving with moderate to heavy suspension articulation ? If so, yes definitely rubbing. But with mild trail or fire road driving you won't have any issues. My 285/75 set up:

    How you like your DC's? I pierced a sidewall on the trail with mine, but other than that I like them.

    I love 'em. They do exactly what I want for an off road tire. Nice grip BOTH on and off road. Light weight for an "aggresssive" all-terrain tire (versus an all-out mud tire). I've heard about issues of puncturing sidewalls . . . the compromise for a light weight off road tire (designed with a higher percentage street use in mind). One just has to be aware of its shortcomings when picking lines on a trail.

    Yeah it was operator error lol. Could of gone straight but was feeling confident and took on a rock with a tall flat face. Plugged it with an ARB kit and it holds air fine. I Really like the weight compared to the toyo mts I had prior

    If you don't off-road, you'll have to remove those front mud flaps and bend back the rears. You might have to do some slight trimming with a razor. Pretty much it.

    But if you off-road and flex out the suspension, you'll need to do a lot more trimming and banging with a hammer, and a cab mount chop.

    Good luck.

    My bad. LOL

    For those doing a rear lift over an inch . . . DON'T FORGET to shim your rear axle. Otherwise you'll get a driveline vibration. Rule of thumb is 1 degree per inch of lift.

    You're welcome.
    Not many people have body lifts here. Maybe a couple. I don't know any members off the top of my head.
