    I haven't used it and doubt I will, but I got a #4 round tip. You just need to go slow or you will bend them up.

    With only 2" you want to stay inside the wheel wells and probably get new bumpstops.
    With my 1st Gen TRDs 4.5" BS (like a .75" spacer) I need the full 3".

    5100's set at 1.75, 1.5 in. AAL, 265/75/16 Cooper ST tires.
    Is anyone running these with stock uca's ? My wheels are stock TRD off roads on a 2012 I believe backspacing is 5.25? Hoping to avoid uca's I only have 1.75 lift but thinking I might could pull this size off with the stuffing inside the wheel well. And some longer bump stops.

    I don't have this size (yet) but from what I understand since they are narrower than factory tires the stock UCA's should be fine. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
