    I've been considering a set of these spacers for my truck and wanted to get some opinions. I'm running 285/75/16 with the stock Baja suspension, Icon AAL, and the Toytec shock spacer. Should I give it a try, or no?

    What are you trying to achieve? If you want a wider stance it'll do that but it might make you rub. I personally like the slightly wider look

    I installed 1.25" spacers on mine with factory rims and factory tire size. They rub at full lock only on occassion (also have a leveling kit, but I do not attribute the rubbing to it). I think your Baja wheels have a larger offset. The other noteworthy issue is maintenance. I was warned via this forum that many chain shops will not touch anything that requires removal of the spacers. This has bit once already at Firestone. GL!!

    looks like the tires stick out past the fenders by at least a few inches so I would say no, but that is just me. My tires probably have an inch or inch an a half past the fenders and it is a pain to keep the truck clean even for just a few days.

    No, don't do it. Your truck looks good already, leave it be. If your tires stick out any more it might look silly. I personally like my tires tucked under my wheel wells so I don't throw rocks down the side of my truck.

    Just some dumb regular crap everyone else has
    I vote no. Your truck is perfect that way it is, I wish I bought one of those instead of my Sport.

    Personally, I like Bora spacers simply because of more options. (3/4" and 1") I've had 1" for well over 70,000 miles now. Not one single issue. Tires reach the outer edge of the fenders, but do NOT throw rocks/chip paint.

    I did it, rubbed too much for my liking, sold them on here and basically it cost me 20 bucks to find out if I liked them.

    Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. I think I'm gonna vote no as well. I've had no rubbing issues with the 285's, and would like to keep it that way.
