    Pretty much I wanted to avoid doing any trimming on frame mounts or plastic in the wheel well so I was planning on running 265/75/17.

    I'm curious if anyone has experience or knowledge on whether or not I would need to do trimming of the wheel well area if I go with Bilstein 5100s set at max height of 2.5" and 285/70/17 tires?
