Looking for thoughts on lift, bump stops and other considerations to accommodate the 33s, including possible body lift.
I’ve added 255/80 17 Falken WildPeaks on my stock 2015 Trail with KDSS. The tires are on the Trail wheels. There is a little rub on the front of the wheel well liner at full lock, so I’m moving liner forward. Otherwise fine on highway, but this is mostly used on trails in the Rockies, so there’s more work to do.
Next step is a lift (likely OME with springs in rear to accommodate heavy load of gear) to gain more ground clearance/approach and departure angles, and likely longer bump stops, if that will help keep tires from hitting top of wheel wells at full compression. My normal off roading is slow on moderate trails in the Rockies.
For an E rated tire, ride is good on highway, and steering wheel wobble is gone. There is no noticeable issue with gearing.
Appreciate comments on proper options to accommodate the larger tires as I get set to purchase.
