    Well I have researched over and over on all sorts of pages for the last few days. I am currently running my Bilsteins at 1.75" with a 16x8 4.5 0 and 265/75/16 Pirelli (E Load)...

    I am planning on pulling the trigger on 285/70/17 Toyo AT II (P Load) with a set of 17x9 4.5 -12 Ballistic Jesters.

    My 12 is already sitting on a set of Bilstein 5100's at 1.75...

    With all of this being said it "appears" with my research I should not have any fitment or rubbing issues BUT I wanted to see if anyone is running the SAME setup and what their personal experience is?

    I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone that may have input but I hope to stay on topic and I hope someone is running the same type of Wheel/Tire specs.

    You'll rub unless you bump the billies to 2.5

    Even at 2.5 you still might have rubbing issues, it varies between tire manufacturers

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    You will most likely have some rubbing issues especially when you flex the suspension. It might just be a little plastic trimming, but there is a chance you will have to trim more if you really flex it out. I dont have this exact setup so i cant confirm anything. Good luck

    The farter you push the wheel out, the more trimming. The purpose of pushing the wheel out to run 285s is so you dont rub on the UCA.

    The Front "wind flaps" were tossed with my current setup (rub in lock) but what other plastic would need to be modified typically (search button up next)

    ^might is the key word, there might be alot more
    Alignment also plays a role so evey truck is different. But as an example, i run that tire size with 2.5" of lift and light racing UCAs, my wheels specs are 8.5" wide, 4.3" backspacing, -10mm. I had to do the cab mount, trim the bottom of the flender flares, bang the pich weld over and cut out a bunch of plastic.

    Lol. My wheel specs arnt the same if it makes you feel better. Running that size tires with 1.75" of lift might be cutting it close. I have seen guys with 285s, billys set to 2.5 and stock UCAs and the rubbing is minimal, no cmc and just a little plastic trimming, maybe shave off the very bottom of the fender flare (wont be noticable)
