    And i have the 2010 TRD Off Road Package, im not sure if that comes with any lift on it or not, but i havent done anything aftermarket to lift it, so if theres any lift it came stock with that package.

    did you grind the spring :eek:

    holy shit kid! take it easy on the poor truck lol take it to a shop or try and find a local guy off of tw here that might be able/willing to help you but, if your grinding springs i advise you to stop working on your truck asap lol.

    depending on how much you ground off you might have just cost yourself a couple hundred dollars to replace them.

    he absolutely has to if thats his tire size lol.

    especk has 315's and he rubs still that guy did more cutting than i did probably and he took off his factory flares all together plus he is lifted 3"

    at this point its safe to say he has a lift and doesn't know it.

    Well that right there should have been reason enough for you not to grind anything, especially not that "lip thing", if that thing breaks you are screwed.
