For those with a 2" or less lift in the front with 275's, do you ever have any rubbin

Stuck between 2" or 2.5" lift. I don't want UCA's and still want good alignment so I'm hesitant on the 2.5. I want 275's with no rubbing issues so I'm hesitant on the 2". I'm stuck and in my own overthinking kind of quick sand.

These are the options I'm still stuck on:
5100's all around w/ any of the following.

2.5" Wheelers T1 with 1.5" Wheelers T13
2" OME 2883 with 1.5" Wheelers T13
2" OME 2883 with 10mm lift enhancer kit with 2" OME 2895e

HELPPP

Depends on brand of tires, what wheels your running...ect. Lift isn't going to help...it's your wheels and how large the actual tire is.

FYI! I have BFG KO2's in 275 on my stock trail wheels, no lift. No rubbing.

Those exact tires.

You should be ok with 275s on stock suspension so if you don't want to get UCAs get a 2" lift

There's a long explanation if you search. Short answer as has been said is that the lift doesn't matter until you change a-arms or use a bracket lift. It's the wheel offset that causes issues. Keep stock wheels and you should be good to go.

The only problem with that is that people on this very forum have said they've had some rubbing with 275's.

Every truck is different... even wth the exact same setup. This has been said time and time again.

Using the resources here as a guideline you can get an idea what is likely to happen but you cannot predict minute differences in each truck. What rubs for one guy, won't for someone else.

I have 2.5" of lift and run stock UCAs. I've read it can be done, and I've read otherwise. May depend on your person doing it maybe. Also, like said above, your results may vary. Pretty sure I posted this in one of your other threads but here it is again.

Same tires, lifted, still rubbing

I have a 16 TEP with the Revtek 2.5/3" lift. The shop had to cut my fender liners, part of the body (but that's because they were idiots, you may not need to), and lose my mudflaps for KO2 275/70/17.

Good luck.

Mine are rubbing.

And I was gang raped by members of this board for not doing the research properly, lol, after I dared explain what I went through. Even though I had read every thread I could find. They must have taken their meds today....

Factory wheels and no spacers?



If so this is a fine example of for OP. All trucks are different and the lift had nothing to do with the rubbing.

I do have a Toytec 112620 in front and Superflex for the rears, with 5100 at each corner. I still run the stock UCA and my alignment is still in spec (but just barely).

Here's a picture with stock tires http://www.toyota-4runner.org/2338941-post46.html

Here's with BFG 275/70/r17 : http://www.toyota-4runner.org/2371905-post7.html

How does she drive being barely in spec?

Better than before alignment

Seriously, I did lift and replace the tires not long after, and having a stiffer suspension and stiffer tire (10 ply) it it's harder, but the truck is driving straight.

Why do you say they were idiots? Just so I know what to avoid.

Look man, no matter how many threads you start on this subject, at the end of the day it might not rub.... or it might. 500 people could rub and you might not or they might not rub and you might. This is fact. Sometimes you just have to do something.

Data Analysis - Trust but Verify

Look man, no matter how many threads you start on this subject, at the end of the day it might not rub.... or it might. 500 people could rub and you might not or they might not rub and you might. This is fact. Sometimes you just have to do something.

I've been a data and network analyst for most of my adult life. I've been surfing the internet since it was only text based. I remember the jokes about not being able to trust the internet and "bloggers in P.J.'s." Data analysis is what I do.

And I've found that it is best, especially when relying on internet forums, to gather as much information as possible, synthesize, process, shake it around a bit, and the truth will sort itself out. More data is better. A bigger sampling creates more reliable results. And that is how I approach things like, "what size tires should I get," or "Can I make it into Lagomarsino in these conditions?"

I still don't understand why asking too many questions is bad. I get that cross-posting excessively can be a problem, but if you're not getting any answers in one forum, why not post on another that is relevant?

And why would any forum admin complain about too many page hits or too much participation? I assume you get paid something for those ads? And maybe per page hit? So why suppress someone asking questions?

Here's why:
The first time you ask a question, a lot of people, some knowledgeable, answer and you get a good mix.

The second time you ask basically the same question, you get less participation and some of the smart guy just browse past.

The third time you ask basically the same question, you only get the ones who didn't see the first ones.

The guys who know 4runners and are here to answer instead of ask don't mind answering once but twice or three times? No. I am here to hopefully get him to understand that nobody can assure him 100% that his tires won't rub. To understand that when you mod, it's on you to understand all possible ramifications.

Now, when I have my mod hat on you will know it. I also sign my posts -mod- when I am being a mod. I have no financial interest here. My job is to make sure the dynamic is correct and to try to keep the stupid from ruining a really good forum.

Instead of going for quantity for something like this you need to be able to discern a quality answer and stick with it. You would be surprised how few people here truly know vehicles. You would also be surprised at how many pm's I answer from people with zero posts, but have searched the forums and need extra help.

Any more comments?

I have a 2" lift (Bilstein 6120s and 2" Icon springs) on FN wheels and BFG 275s. I rub, very minor though
