    Very minimal rubbing when backing up. UCA is pretty close but not hitting. No spacers. Only complaint so far is the dang searching for gears @ 75-80

    No idea about the warranty. Wouldn't think it would hurt the coverage of engine/transmission. Maybe talk to your local dealer. Can you post a pic of your wheels? I am interested in seeing what they look like

    Will try this asap. I had tried the other day but bumped it to 6th and still had same issue. Any harm on it just running in 5th for say 50-60 miles on interstate?

    Just the 3inch rough country lift. 3in front I believe and 2 in back. The back is sitting about 3/4 in higher than front. Which I put it on myself so who knows may have somethen not quite right:bikewhoops: Couldn't justify spending 2-4k on some of the others I looked at for what I need it to do.

    Yes, will hurt the warranty. If Toyota decides that rear blinker is not working due to the lift, they will not replace the bulb.

    I've spoken to 2 local dealers and they both told me 3" or below lift will not void the warranty. The warranty will not cover any of the aftermarket parts though that you put on. This is what I was told, but I've brought my truck in for warranty work once and they did not say anything about the lift I have.

    Will make a difference since you have larger tires. The thread is long but the jist is that it works very well if you hate the hunting of gears on highway speeds in the Gen 3 autos. I also have 285's and enjoy my truck much more because of this.
