I guess I'll share mine, 35x12.50

I use 35x12.5r17. I have 6" lift. You need a lot of processing if you want to run the off.

What lift components did you use to fit the 34" tires?

I have the Icon extended travel, Stage 5 front and MT long travel with heavies rear. Had to do the BMC, pound the pinch weld, beat the back of the fender well with a BFH, after market bumper, which loses a lot of the fender liner and caster set at over 4°. Still have some rubbing. It's just how it's going to be without a lot more work.

whats the minimal i need to do if I want to be offroad ready in an sr5? I was thinking 32s or 33s and a 2-2.5 lift. will that be enough?

If your main concern is being offroad ready, then a lift and tires is not where to spend your money. For the most bang for the buck, spending money on 4 wheeling lessons will do you wonders. Put a great 4x4 driver into an average 4x4 vehicle, and he will go much farther than a novice in the world's most capable Jeep. Knowledge is the most important thing you can have out there. After that, recovery gear is essential. Whether or not you're stock, or fully decked out, you can get stuck. It's better to have no lift and small tires, and be able to extricate yourself than it is to be stuck on 33s with 3" lift and no way out. Even after that, there's still things that your money is better spent on to be "offroad ready", including armor such as skid plates. If you wheel at night, I'd rather have some accessory lighting than a lift, if we're talking functionality.

Now, if most of us were honest with ourselves, we add the lift and bigger tires for looks primarily. There is not too much functionality that is added in comparison to the things I mentioned above. Now, the thing is, if you're going from a "small" passenger tire to a larger all-terrain or mud-terrain tire, of course you'll have a performance difference. But keep in mind, the majority of that difference is due to the tire tread/compound itself, rather than the 1-2 inch size increase.

With that said, many of us are running 285/70/17s on 2"-3" of lift. I'll easily admit it, the lift and tires were one of my first mods, and it was for looks. If I truly wanted the most capable rig out there, I would have bought an older and more capable vehicle and not worried about looks. But that's nothing to be ashamed about, many sports car purchases are based in large part on looks. In general, 285/70/17s on 2-3" of lift should be fairly painless, with only very minor modification required. Of course, just due to truck variability, some people will require more than just "very minor" modification, and some people will require no modification. I feel I fell into the average or so; a little bit of fender pushing back was required, and took off the mudflaps, but other than that, nothing like a body mount chop was required.

Appreciate the response. I have a pretty good knowledge of 4 wheeling, i just want a little more clearance than i have. I scraped a few rocks on the bottom when I was off roading the other day so the skid plates will definitely be necessary. I'm going to try to take the running boards off tomorrow so give me a little clearance on the side. its a brand new car so I dont want to get crazy with it. i just want to be able to get around a majority of the hills out here in colorado. i hate taking the easy trail! haha

My 2016 Trail lift 3in lift with TRD Pro rims and 285/70/17 rims and no rub at all.

Truth right there

how much did trimming cost? Im trying to fit 35's on my 2013 and want to know a good price to trim

I have 315/70r17's on 8.5" wide -25 offset wheels.

So far, I've:

- Lifted 3"
- Trimmed about 2" off of the front bumper
- Removed mud flaps
- Moved the fender liner forward about 2.5" and added new splash guard holes
- BMC; will be doing DRT body mount relocation this week
- Trimmed black rocker/fender cap

I just put on 315/70's, and nothing rubs with normal driving. I have barely touched the pinch welds when entering a steep drive, but nothing major.

I have an appointment for the body mount relocation this Thursday, and will be doing the pinch welds myself on Sunday.

Will do some wheeling after that to see if anything still rubs.
