    yeah I wouldn't do anything crazy, maybe 1/2" spacers if they even make them that low. Or whatever the smallest spacer is. I don't rub the frame so bad that it prevents the wheel from turning but it's enough that I get some pretty good size tire marks on the frame after a tough trail. Not to mention rubbing the cab but I dunno if spacers will make that better or worse.

    Ah, the joys of running larger tires....sigh

    TRD Off Road sticker. Not the whole package, just the sticker.
    That why I asked a lot a questions of the guys I knew that had already been in your shoes. I wanted to get the tire and wheel combo right the first time. I have 1/4 spacers and just run longer studs and an adapter to keep the vehicle weight supported on the hub instead of the studs. Not sure what the adapter is, just an Amazon find. Same for the studs, but pay the extra for good ones with review. And white knight makes the spacers.

    so if i wanted to run an ARB bullbar and a winch would the 883s be a good fit? the 1st gen bumper weighs in at around 80 lbs or so i think. i am planning on keeping my 5100s so the spring will need to be compatible with that.
