285/70/17

285/70/17 what modifications are people doing to make these bad boys fit? If you are currently running with this set up how do you like it?

 

Cab mount chop, pinch weld flatten, and front mudflaps off to fit without rubbing in my 2013 Sport.

 

Jesus that seems like a lot. What about 275/70/17?

 

I'm running 285/70/17's with 3" of lift (ICON front and rear), Light Racing UCA's and Rokblokz mudflaps. No rubbing at all.

Had to cut some of the fender liner plastic away, but took 10 minutes with a pair of snips.

 

UCA's are those a must? Can you show me where you had to snip?

 

The UCA's are not a must, but they do allow for an easier alignment when lifted. Some people have issues getting an alignment with stock UCA's as there is not enough adjustment. I did not have that issue with my stock UCA's, but I did upgrade to get more caster.

I'd show you where I cut mine, but the 2011 and 2015 fender liners are different so I don't think it would be much help. When you get your lift and larger tires, just turn your tires, and wherever it contacts the fender liner cut it. Go forward and reverse and turn the tires both way. Rubbing on the fender liner isn't going to hurt anything, it'll just be annoying as it makes a sound like shuffling a deck of cards as the lugs of the tire contact it.

 

If you want full up travel (lca on the bump stop) how much lift you add doesn't matter, because full up travel is the same.

If you add a spacer lift you get less up travel, and can get away with less cutting.

 

I heard horror story's about spacers.

If you seriously use your truck they are not good, limited travel, ride quality, breaking other stuff (because our travel is limited by components not meant to do so). For 90%/of lifted truck owners they are fine. There is a reason they sell so many spacer kits.

Assuming you're going to do some kind of lift, you need to clear the tires through the fu range of suspension travel. Take the shocks and sway bar off, put a tire on, and cycle the suspension using a jack under the LCA. You'll see where you need to cut real quick.

Also look at the build thread section, and you can see the stuff people have done.

Once you clear the tires you can add a lift.

 

im running 275/70/17 and all i had to do was take the front mud flaps off due to rubbing....i could have just trimmed them but decided to just take them off

all i have is a revtek lift kit
