35's scrubbing with 6" lift-

Thanks for the pics Blackout. Do you have a pic showing the upper mounts of the front shocks? Your truck seems to sit higher than mine. Maybe the fender trimming just makes it look like it.

 

Oh okay cool. Nice setup. I'm thinking I will have to do some trimming to. I have 18x9 inch wheels with a -12 offset on 285/65-R18 Dune Grapplers but with a toytec 3 inch lift.

 

i was just at my local dealer and they have an 08 tacoma that they had a 4x4 shop install a 6" procomp on and 35 xtreme ATs and i noticed they cut a nice chunk out of the body mount to clear the tires. sucks that they need this clearancing for 35's.

 

1.5" Wheel spacer Adapters = problem solved. Check MarlinCrawler or Kartek, might be cheaper at Kartek.

SpiderTrax also sells a 1.25" spacer. That's what I'm running.

 

For those using wheel spacers, did you have rubbing issues before the spacer? I'm just thinking that it may not. When I turn to the right, the outside of my left front tire touches (or super close anyway) the front of the fenderwell.. So if the outside of my tires are now further away with the spacers, wouldn't that put my left front tire closer to the front of the fenderwell

Has anybody put a spacer on top of the coilovers for more lift to solve rubbing issues?

 

You know, I think you're right. My initial rubbing issue was with the UCAs, not the fenders. Now that I've installed the spacers, I need to trim my fenders a little, but not too much.

And about spacers on top of your coilovers, I've always heard it's BAD to "stack" lifts.

 

Oh, and...

 

Ah crap! Are my TC UCA's going to rub my tires when I get my lift put on Monday?

 

If you're running 285s on stock rims, then probably. Some tires don't but most do I think. However, mine only rubbed when going backwards and wheels at full lock.

 

Ah I'm running 18x9 inch rims on 285/65-18s!

 

As long as your rims have 4.5" backspacing, you won't be near the UCAs.

 

I'm not sure what my backspacing is but I know my rims are at a -12 offset.

 

Thanks to all for helping me. I'm getting the razor out today for some trimming!


And

 

Good choice and nice truck!

 

Well today's the big day! Well actually tomorrow. I'm just dropping my truck off today. My trucks going to be lifted finally!!! After like a month and a half!!! Hope everything works out all right. If everything does. I will have it back tomorrow after work. I'll post pics most likely on Tuesday when I will have some sun!

 

Well got my truck back last night!!! Love how it looks! Just as I had hoped. The shop did some clean trimming but I noticed this morning when I was backing out of my driveway and turned the wheels full tilt to the right that it was rubbing on something. After I get off work I might have to do a little more trimming. No biggie though! Oh and my tires dont hit the TC UCA's! I'll post pics of my truck later on tonight, it was to dark last night!

 

Hey so what would be the easiest tool to do some trimming. Razor knife? I don't have a whole lot of power tools. Just your basic drill and just hand tools. Oh and hey "blackout," those pictures of where you trimmed looks like the same spot that the shop trimmed on mine but I think I have to trim more on that same spot. Now I can't tell if they trimmed anything else. Did you have too?

 

I was thinking of using my dremal with a cutoff wheel, going to do it on my lunch break, T-1hr, well see how it turns out.
