    That's the spare from my death Tacoma 285/75/16. The tire is about 2"1/2 taller that stock 265/70/16

    Me personally I don't think that Tacoma looks good with OEM tires and a 3" lift. On my 2006 DCSB with OME 886 with OEM UCA I had 285/75/16 on OEM rims and it rub on the UCA. I'm gonna try the same thing but now I have TC UCA. I should be fine. Some people go with 255/85/16 that shouldn't affect MPG or have any rubbing.

    what's everyone doing for rear bump stops?

    I went with the extended travel 5100's, not sure if the wheelers super bumps will save the shocks before they bottom out.

    Overall this tires are good tires, but sharp rock I think will destroy any tire.

    I'm pretty sure mine is coming from the coils hitting the UCA's (stock). Though after Shoe Creek I have a few more noises up front.

    Could be, but I have TC upper control arms, pleanty of clearance. Still have a clank over speed bumps. It's the coils compressing and then Decompressing extending the shock back to full droop too fast. That's just my $0.02. Doesn't bother me though
