    Hello, i have a 2.5" lift up front and 1.5" rear. Im running 275/55/r20. I want to move up to 295s, if possible. 295/55/r20. If not 285. Discount tire dude told me i will need spacers, and said Bolt-on spacers are safer and the only ones they service. Any recommendation on the size of spacer i would need? I just want two up front. I honestly have like 1/4 inch of room between UCA and tire. Can anyone help me? Or let me know what you all have for sale thanks!

    You have a 2wd right????
    Screw the spacers and do lift spindles. For the back consider a 3 leaf AAL with the overload in.

    Its time to get your learn on, I'd suggest doing some research on lifts and getting familiar with the different types of lifts out there. Taking lift advise from a sales rep that sales tires is not going to get you anywhere.

    Im a broke college student lol, i was very informed on lifts before adding mine. I realize everyone here hates on spacer kits cause all they do is crawl. I dont do that. Im 2wd, i do light sand driving thats it. I have a 2.5" bilstein adjusted shocks up front and 1" block rear. Im just tryna clear bigger tires

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    If you're touching the UCA, you either need wheel spacers or a wheel with different backspacing.

    Bingo ^^^

    OP check out Bora spacers. I run these and know several others that do. They make them in lots of sizes unlike other brands. The 0.75" might just help you clear yet not push the wheel/tire out too far. I think someone on here is actually selling a set, search the for sale thread.

    I understand the issue with funds and wasn't quite clear the question you were asking. After re-reading it I get what's going on, you just needed to push the wheel and tire out more. I misunderstood and thought you wanted to gain additional lift for clearance.
