    I have a 2009 double cab 4x4 long bed (Not TRD) and plan on putting a 2.75-3" ready lift on it with a 2" rear block, along with KO2 285/75r16s. My main question is rubbing and if so by how much. I'm not a huge fan of spacers (I will trim if needed) just because I don't like my tires to stick way outside the fenders- its just not a clean look to me. If y'all could send some thoughts on whether I will need spacers that would be great. Also if you've done something similar to what I'm thinking feel free to share the photos...

    Just joined this forum because I realized how much good info and opinions are passed around on here.
    Thanks.

    Welcome and tons of info here. but you say you are not a fan of spacers, but yet that's the route you are going for a suspension lift? Save a little more money and at least do Bilstein 5100's all around, and some type of AAL in the back.

    Sorry unchained I didn't clarify. I know that the ready lifts are spacer lifts but what I meant to ask was if I am going to need wheel spacers so that my tires won't rub in the front with stock rims.

    Thanks

    With the setup you have planned it will be close, but you may still find a small amount of rubbing. If you do, then ditch your mud flaps (a must), think about getting a different UCA and that should probably work. Each combo is a little different so it's hard to predict with certainty. Good luck.
