    Hey guys, I'll try to keep this concise because I know how often this gets tossed around in here; I'm getting ready to purchase a bunch of shit for my new '14 Access Cab, and I want to make sure I did my homework right.

    Going with the 3" LIFT KIT WITH BILSTEIN 5100 HEIGHT ADJ. COILOVERS kit from Toytec Lifts with the 2" AAL's in the back.

    A set of Light Racing UCA's because reasons. Peace of mind, mostly.

    I want to get the ever popular KMC XD778 Monster Rims:
    Size: 18x9
    Offset: -12mm
    Backspacing: 4.49"
    Bolt Pattern: 6-139
    Rec. Tire Size: 255/60-18
    Weight: 32.6lbs

    And wrap them with 285/60/18 Cooper Zeon LTZs.

    Will this suspension set up work? I'm fully okay with losing the front flaps and doing some minor plastic trimming, but I'd like to avoid cutting metal for fitment. Mainly camping/trail type stuff, no serious rock crawling.

    I do plan on getting the lift and UCA's put on professionally, because while I'm fairly mechanically inclined, I just don't have the tools in my little garage that I'd need. Do I need to purchase additional bushings or any other crazy crap that I'm not thinking about? Wheel spacers? What am I forgetting?

    Monster sticker, bro.
    jk...seems like everything is there to get the truck up higher. The wheel and tire combo...not too sure if theyll rub the cab mount or not. Perhaps someone will chime in on that.
    Oh, and lights. Need lots of lights for the wilderness at night.

    I guiltily looked at the empty monster can on my desk :eek:

    Cab mount is part of the frame, isn't it? I'm not terribly attached on the 285s, could find some 275s and be happy I think.

    And yeah, I plan on lights and other shit too, but all that stuff is easy in comparison :D

    I'm only going to bump this once, anyone? =( I'm going to assume that if no one says I'm making a mistake that I somehow did everything right (and that never happens)

    Colin, call downsouth motorsports in San Diego. Tell Micah your specs and he may be able to clear up the rubbing issue for you. he'll also be able to quote you the best possible prices too.
