    My 98 has 4 in.beefed blocks, QA1 up front, turbo. My 15 4x4 stock looking for lift and tires.

    Hey bud ive got the same rims on my 2015 dclb sport. Im looking to do the toytec 3 inch lift. I also would be interested in what you had to do to fit those big meats under there. I also plan on running 33/12.50/17s after i get my lift. Im wanting something geared to soft sand ridding. How do those tires do in the soft sand.

    All I had to do was trim about a half inch off of my fender flare and trim my splash guard a little bit but other than that it hasn't rubbed one bit

    I didn't have to do any major trimming at all. I just had to cut a little off of the lip on the bottom of the fender flare and trim my splash guard. I'm from Arkansas so I honestly couldn't tell you how they do in the sand haha but in snow and mud they have been the best tire I have had

    Pretty much the same truck as mine, I'm thinking of putting a 3" lift on instead of the 6 I have now. Ever regret the longbox?

    So my coworker just put in a 3/2in Readylift kit on her 2012 Tacoma. Is 265/70/17 the biggest size she can go without rubbing or having to add wheel spacers? Also, what is the best aggressive looking tire in that size? I have ko2s on my 3rd gen and that to me is aggressive looking already.

    Wheel spacers make rubbing worse from my experience. Not sure about the rest of your question but anything is possible with cab mount relocation and fender chop

    Well that's what I was telling her, I got 285/70/17 on just a 2" level spacer and I had to get wheel spacers because I rubbed on the UCA's and after that rubbed on the fender and all that so she said she'd like to keep from having to chop and cut and all that stuff.

    So I guess question is what is the biggest size tire she can go with without having to cut/chop/grind on a 17" wheel?

    33 she would need to cut the cab mount to not rub, so 33 minimal rubbing. Tire width matters as well
