285 Duratrac Rub

The one thing about living in Boston is we just don’t have a single 4x4 shop that is qualified to install wheels and tires or anything for the off-road. Town Fair Tire is really my only option and what ever research I do here on the forums.

I installed a 3” x 2” readylift leveling kit last weekend. I had an appointment this weekend at Town Fair to install 285 Duratrac on the sport. Come to find out it’s hitting the UCA. This was a fit test as TFT had no clue if it would fit either. I took off the all mud flaps and the trim plastic piece up front. Had to abort the install and goes on the 265 Duratrac.

I want to stick with stock
Rims. Does anyone know if spacers and what size will work? This is all new to me, lifting trucks so please forgive my newbieness. Any help would be appreciated. I snapped photos of the rub point. Thanks

 

Did you get an alignment after the lift at all? I believe on stock wheels most people need wheel spacers for 285's

 

No. The plan was to get the alignment done today with the tires. Is there a way the alignment can be done first and then the install of tires?

 

I think no matter what with 285's you will need wheel spacers for stock rims

 

An alignment will likely make that worse. You need spacers. Or don’t turn sharp. That’s what I do.

 

Lol...I could only turn about 1/2 way.

Now I can understand why people get new rims when running 285. It look oks like spacer will run me 200 bucks. Looks like another 200-300 I can get new rims.

 

Rims or spacers will solve it, just dont get crappy ebay/Amazon spacers. Get a good high quality spacer. Ive seen to many crappy spacers fail (extended lugs etc)

 

Yep!

Bora or spidertrax.

 

Marlin from JBA sells some nice one's as well.

Got it. 1 1/4” spacers. Thank you .

 

Many people go with Spidertrax spacers on here.

Make sure they're hubcentric. I've also head "wheel adapters" that serve as spacers, but bolt to the hub are the best way to do this if you have to run spacers.

 

Thanks for all the help gentlemen. Installed the spacers yesterday before the Pats game. 1 1/2” spidertrax I bought locally for 140 bucks.

I hope to get the 285’s installed this week.

 

What’s that white stuff between the spacer and rotor?

 

Looks like a poop-ton of anti-seize. Good idea to use it, just seems like a lot.

 

it's anti-seize. didn't use a lot it's just the way it happened.

 

Any news on the install?

 

Should have gotten the 265 Duratracs,,,,,
