Want long travel don’t want new fenders

hoping for some help here. Want LT suspension, probably total chaos.
Just don’t want the fender flares .
Is it necessary or just preferred ?

 

3.5 or 2 ?? With a 3.5 you really do need them

 

And with a 2

 

You can do a +2 kit without fenders....most don’t do fiberglass with a +2. You must cut the stock ones though

 

Look at this truck, you barely notice they're there:

What are your overall plans for the truck?

 

They do look nice, I just am not wanting to switch out my fenders.
I guess I’m stuck with mid travel.

But thanks for all the info.

 

Sounds like a wise choice, when going LT you have to do a lot of things to make the system work for what you want. Cutting and clearance of the fenderwell, CMC, gussets and reinforcement go hand in hand with a good LT set up.

 

There are plenty of people running +2 and no glass. Here’s a few examples and they are all running 35s...

 

I really don’t “need” them as I have a JKU and a tj wth them.

Might swing by a body shop to see what they think the fender trim would look like.
Thanks all

 

Look at the silver truck......that’s what a fender trim looks like. Mine are cut 2.5 inches

 

You can check out @90yota's build as he trimmed up his two inches so that he could clear 35s while maintaining the factory look on his third gen. Could be worth a read.

 

We have guys with our +2 and stock fenders.

It'll come down to your tire size as well!

Black Tacoma trimmed and added Flares.

 

Looks nice...I went with a fox 2.5” dsc front and rear with Dakars Camburg ....
Sorry won’t be joining the club

I wish I could go lt on this truck....only mt truck I’ve had lol

 

A properly set up truck will handle better all day long than a LT truck that's not set up. I'm 3.5 TC with full LT in the back. I drove the TC Brown Derby truck that has stock length front TC and their rear set up--the truck drove 1000x better than my truck did. I've spent hundreds trying to get my truck to ride better and I still can't come close to the Brown Derby ride.

This is 100% true but you have to also know the limits of the truck and what it can and can not handle.

The Brown derby is a mid travel truck that will not be able to handle a lot of what an LT truck can handle ( like your truck ). It was designed for trails and mild off roading.

Not sure if you have done it yet but shock tuning for your set up will go a LONG way!

Alot of our +2 and +3 Prerunner trucks that we have built ( Tacoma, F150, Silverado ) definitely ride better than our full Race LT trucks especially as a daily. Less moving parts!

 

I have +3.5 Total Chaos with 35s. It rubs a lot, also when I jumped it my UCA hit the inside of the fender. I also have 4" maxtrac spindles, so if you arent running any additional lift you have to have fenders, if you run extra lift and 33s you could possible fit them

 

First time you really use your travel say goodbye to those fenders

 

I jumped it on 33s, and when I say "jumped", i hit a sideroad beside the highway going 65 and jumped about 30 yards. With 35s it would probably get into the fenders, but I have 4" more lift than most long travel trucks

 

WTF? please tell me you recorded this
