The SKINNY on skinny tires

Will that set-up keep the factory rake, just for pulling purposes?

 

por que no los dos?

 

Depends on exactly how you set it up (i.e. which springs and which clip on the shock). But yes, factory rake is achievable with those mods.

 

I recently purchased a set 255/85/16 Falken Wildpeak AT4's and I'm experiencing rubbing on the drivers side wheel well. Moved up from my stock tires but also have a 3" lift in the front and 2" in the back. Trimmed the fender liner also.

What options do I have to eliminate the rubbing?

 

Cutting or hammering the thing that is rubbing is the only way

 

No chance alignment is off or could be adjusted to fix the issue?

 

Did you get an alignment after you lifted it? Is it within specs?

 

I got it lifted several years ago and alignment done at the same time.

 

IMO its worth getting an alignment with new tires. No new tires shouldnt change it but its cheap insurance to make sure your alignment is good for best tire life.

But tweaking alignment for fitting tires sometimes works? You need a good tech and fully adjustable upper arms(spc's I think are the only ones).

 

Luckily I have SPC's. Hopefully an alignment will help. Thanks for your time

 

Not sure why no one is talking about wheels, specifically, offset. What are your wheel specs? As long as you have appropriately spec'd wheels you should be able to get away without any cutting/hammering by dialing in the alignment. If you have really aggressive wheels the alignment may not be enough.

That offset is why you’re having issues compared to others in this thread. You may still be able to dial it in with an alignment though. But as a general rule (assuming you have the necessary clearance to the UCA) you want the highest offset possible if you’re trying to avoid rubbing.

The wider and the lower offset you go, the more you’re gonna have rubbing issues. Stick to narrow, high offset, wheels with skinny tires and you’ll keep rubbing to a minimum or not have any at all.

2022 TRD OR, stock suspension. Thanks to @DiscountTire in ENC for getting Falken Wildpeak AT/4's in 255/85/16, with Fuel Covert +1 offset...OTT Tune...been on this thread a long time, just joined forum and pulled trigger when FW AT4's released...thx @LadyRed, @Sandytaco14, and many others for inspiration

 

That taco is sick...love the badging

 

Thanks. Problem is that I can't sneak anywhere...truck's too unique.

 

Sitting on 255/75/17’s and 3” lift. This thing rips! I did a lvl 4 trail and it did awesome, it was my first time using 4lo and was so impressed by this truck. My buddies were all jealous of my short wheel base

 

Can you fit 255/85/16 on 2nd gen in spare mount location????...I cut the stock wings to fit a worn out 285/75/16 currently

 

it works for me...bent the tabs up
