Noob here. Just collected all the necessary parts and scheduled the lift for next week. After reading a few dozen posts I think I only have one question: Are the wheel spacers necessary? I don't want my footprint to be too narrow so I'm thinking yes?? 2012 SR5 4X4, OME 3" suspension lift, ProComp 7036, and Duratrac 285 70/17. Any advice would help. Thanks!!
Going up. Spacers?

the 285's will make your stance about 1/2" wider than stock. It will look good. If you do spacers, depending on what you do will bring it out another 1.25". Which looks awesome, but most likely you will have to do a BMC, which is something I wanted to avoid, plus you will have to do some liberal cutting of the bumper to avoid rubbing. With the stock wheels and those tires, maybe just remove the front mud flap, or tie or screw the flap back. And do a simple front fender mod, takes like 5 minutes.

looks good, which wheels did you end up going with? offset?
I did the 285/65/18, which is about a 32.6" tall tire. I think the duratracs are a 33" I kind of already wish I did a little bigger, maybe the 295/65/18 which are 33.1 and would have stuck out another .5"
Also your tint, do you know the brand of tint you did, I think mine was suntech 25%, but its got a green tint to it compared to the smoke of the stock tint.
