Wanted to give a shout out to Jason at Burtman Industries

Jason was very helpful and was able to send me my Spidertrax wheel spacers and cornfed 3/2 spacer lift kit before my camping trip. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

Thank you Jason your the best!!!!

The truck looks great!!!!!!

However my front tires still rub with the 3" spacer and wheel spacer on the front and I had to remove my splash shield and mud flap and trim the inside of my front bumper. I was wondering if anyone who lifted the truck this much and had 285/70/r17 BF T/As if they had this issue too?? Other wise my springs are sagging.

Some pics of mine and my friend's T4Rs

Saw a nice red Toyota Supra too at the Toyota Dealership when I was getting my alignment done.

With regards to the tire rub, I will say it is a common thing, especially when wheel spacers are used. There are several threads & posts on this topic.

1. You can remove the mud flaps, which works to eliminate the rub in the rear, but does expose the lower frame and underside to potential damage from debris. Some like the "clean" look. Another option would be to pull the inner, lower portion of the mudflap towards the rear. I simply drilled 2 small holes, fed some wire through, and secured the wire to the underside of the vehicle. If you click onto my photo album, I have a few pictures.

2. With the tire rub in the rear fixed, it may still rub in the front. Using a rotary tool, the inner fender/bumper cover can be trimmed. However, the inner splash shield will still rub unless you move it forward. Simply remove the screw on the underside of the bumper cover that secures the inner splash shield, push the splash shield forward, and install a new screw. I used a self-tapping screw. It threads in easily into the soft plastic. Again, check out my photo album.

This is good to hear. This is the first positive review I've seen of Burtman Industries in a long time. In the beginning he was top notch (early 2000s), after years his customer service fell in the toilet and MANY here complained and abandoned him. Let's hope he keeps it up as he has some interesting products.
