How to identify what to cut (285s + lift)

I'm too drunk for this.

 

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

 

I do not suggest that he don't not do it, but I don't suggest he do not do it either.

 

I am perfectly happy with my setup. No major issues at all now. Also I agree with KPT, would never grind the calipers, I got Spidertrax spacers and they work great, didn't want to get a plate spacers as I didn't want to shorten the thread length on my lugs.

In hindsight I would have gone with different wheels but like I said I am perfectly happy with my truck.

 

Think about it like this. When in reverse your front tires/suspension want to shift towards the front as your back tires pull you in reverse. The opposite happens when in drive your front tires/suspension want to shift towards the back as your rear tires push you forward.

On my truck it rubs the front of the fender liner and the inside edge do the fender flare at the front edge. A Dremel tool and a heat gun helped alleviate the rubbing.

 

That's all I was saying.

The fact that you won't grind a couple millimeters off your brake calipers but will run 1.25" wheel spacers amuses me greatly.

This is true, but if you have enough deflection in the bushings that your A-arms are shifting significantly during accel/decel, it's time to get some new damn bushings.

 

I agree. I think it only shifts a little. I didn't have to trim off very much to fix the rubbing issues I was having. But, I have 1.5 spacers so the 1.25 spidertrax might cause rubbing in a different location

 

The thinnest correct spacer that retains wheel and hub centric bores are from here.

Can get anywhere from 3/4" up to 2" thick.

They can also make a basic non bolt on spacer if you want to go thinner but then it requires you to knock out your old studs and press in longer ones. Say you want to go 1/2"

 

Wish I had heard of these before I got my 1.25" Spidertrax, may have gone with something a little smaller. However the fact that I hadn't heard of them in my searches says something I think.

Also I took my wheels off today to check my spacers after off roading for the first time last weekend, nuts on the spacers haven't budged after a few thousand miles.
