    Removed those Shin blasters, added some nice 20” wheels, and slowly looking to level the SR5 in the front.
    I am rubbing the stock UCA, I went too big, and only rub when I have passengers, and mostly in reverse. When I rub I turn more and it goes away.
    Q: would adding the 5100 Billstein solve this? Are the blue and yellow from Off Road the same shocks?

    Tires are 275/55 20x9 on 2wd SR5 0 offset. They take up the wheel well for sure.

    Only the control arm? Run a small spacer or get a different offset wheel

    Oh if I hit a bump on a turn I will hit the wheel well. The stock suspension is a bit soft. took off the front plastics, thought I would hear less. Got it aligned and now it rubbs more

    Before I chop this SR5… I could lift it a bit? 3” 2”?

    While lifting will alleviate rubbing at static height, your suspension will still have the same travel and you will rub under compression same as you are now. Lifting does not create more clearance for bigger tires through out the suspension cycle. Only at static ride height. The only "correct" fix is cutting for clearance.

    Ok. I appreciate that. I never had to worry about it because I never bought this big of tire and wheels. It was a great deal, looks pretty good, and only really rubs in reverse turning, or when I have passenger it will rub during a turn and with uneven road. I usually turn a bit more and it goes away. Thanks again.

    Work in progress...
    -10 rubs at stock set up, just so you know. I should say once you lift it couple of inches. Crazzy how it work and it doesn't make an kink of sense until you really look at it. And then you realize you moved the center of the tire, the biggest circumference to the area of least clearance. In other words, if you actually look at it, the 3rd gen taco will actually clear a larger tire at stock height than it will at +2 or 3". Moving the wheel out the -10 only brings the points of contact closer. Bringing he tire in with a +10 would be the way to go.

    Good thing I didn’t get the -10. Thanks.
