For those with 33s or bigger

I recently added 255/80 17s to my truck with -10 offset rims. I've had to remove a lot of the fender liner and front mud guards so far which I'm ok with. That was just to navigate parking lots etc. I've recently had a chance to flex the suspension a little and I'm getting some contact in places I didn't expect it and don't know what to do about it. I've added a few pics to illustrate the issues. I have 885s up front with 5100s at the 0 setting. The rear has super flex coils with 5100s. Anyone have input? I've searched and searched but haven't seen anyone cover solutions to these issues.

This is the driver side front tire with the rear of the truck to the right in the picture. The tread is actually catching on the plastic part of the flare that the mud guard used to attach to. Last time, it ripped the mud guard out of the bolts and spit it out on the ground. I guess I could dremel that part of the flare but I don't think it'll get me that much clearance and I'm guessing there's metal behind it.

This picture is of the passenger side rear tire and it still wasn't fully stuffed. I drove forward and it started to rub on the guard again. I already removed the bolt that was there because it was catching the tread bad. Again, I could remove the guard but I'd like to be able to cover the hole that's left behind.

Keep cutting and trimming. Your going to have to lose that plastic in the wheel well in front of the body mount and probably have to cut the body mount, too.
What's your caster set to? I run about 5.5 to keep the tires away from the rear of the wheel wells.

Caster is currently < 1.5 for both sides. I need new UCAs. Like you said, I guess I'll have to keep hacking plastic until they clear. I was really surprised at the rear issue though, I figured I'd have enough room based on other reviews of similar setups.

Body lift will help too. I know many don't like them, but it has it's function. I put a 2.5" body lift in anticipation of 35's when I can afford them. My 33's don't touch a thing anymore. I still need to chop the body mount though.
Also, I trimmed that area on front before I put my body lift on. Other than looks, it's not going to hurt anything. But you are correct, it doesn't gain you very much.
Keep trimming, and there are much more guys on the Toyota120 thread with 35s btw. Personally I like it here better. lol

I know of someone with a relatively new set of uca that he took of his 13 he just traded in. He's out of the 4 runner game and in a Lexus gs 350 f sport. So motivated seller I think.

Also. I just put a set of 33.2" duratracs on a 18x9" wheel with 00 mm offset. It rubs the plastic near the mud flap on the drivers side and the front fender flare on the passenger side. So trimming it down tomorrow.

I have the same tires with camburg ucas and have no issues, i think it will make a huge difference for you.

Got any pictures or links to a thread? I'm on my phone and can't find much. I'd appreciate it.

How much suspension lift are you running?

How much suspension lift are you running?

A decent amount. 3.5-4 inches front and rear.

Weird... that looks way too stuffed/close to the fender compared to my 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers and I'm running I think a hair over 3" of lift with my 2.5" Radflo set-up. I'm guessing the caster is going to make a bigger difference here. I'll try and get some pictures of my vehicle tomorrow when there's light out.

Can you post some pictures of the truck from the side?

I don't have a build thread, but I actually have my front sitting with a slight lean forward and have no issues. Pics:

Here's mine with 295.65.18

No body mount chop. I don't even know what that is and [MENTION=55855]zopperman[/MENTION] asked me that last time I put on my 285.65.18 lol

I trimmed front lower bumper and this time with the 295 I need to trim a little of the rear fender flare. Lost the mud flaps long time ago.

Passenger side. Mud flap side

Bumper side on passenger side

Drivers side mud flap side

Drivers bumper side

Looks like shit up close. But it's fine from 5 feet away. No one will ever notice except you and everyone else that sees this threads pictures lol

Hope this helps

That looks about the same as my truck; I'm running close 4* of caster.
