Tire fitment question

These are my specs as of now: bilsteins 5100 adjustable shocks at the last notch, rear 1 inch block, running on trd pro 17 inch wheels and 265/70 17 tires with 1.5 inch wheel spacers, and no mudflaps. If I buy 285/70 r17 falken AT3, will they rub?

 

Simple answer is yes, pinch welds, fender liners and mud flaps removed and a little trimming plus possibly the cab mount will need to be chopped.

I have had same wheels with 275's. Very close to rubbing and that's w/o spacers. Spacers would have rubbed so I think trimming will be needed with 285's and spacers.

 

How do the bilsteins ride on the last notch?

 

For some reason Bilstein and other experts don't recommend the last notch on a 3rd gen, I believe the ride quality diminishes quite a bit. I went second to last and really like the ride quality on and off-road, and it soaks the road imperfections very well.

 

They ride well, no complaints whatsoever, I still don’t know the long term effects of riding them on the last notch. I went ahead and installed the 285s and only did minor trimming to tha cab mount, and reshaped the fender liners. I think the only problem is the down travel with stock Upper Control Arms.
