Got the same lift specs on mine. I still think it's funny how at that lift with 33s it makes it look stock height again especially in pictures. Looking good !

If you want to get rid of the rub on the mud flap hump there is an easy fix that I did. You can easily cut two vertical slits next to each other in the mud flap and zip tie it back to the hole in the body mount. This literally takes 5 minutes. I put up with slight rub forever at full lock and pulling in places, etc. until I did this. Makes all the difference being able to do whatever without any rubbing. If you need more explanation let me know and I can get some pics.

I tried that, didn't work. I took the mud flaps off.

Here you go! I got about 3/8" more clearance on each side by doing this!
Inside fender well!
Backside of mudflap at the body mount!
The amount of space I have now between tire and mudflap!
Doesn't rub in any direction now... onroad or off!

This was mine with a spacer lift to get maybe 2" up front and OG BFG KOs. Rubbing everywhere, especially on backing up. Removed mudflaps, cut the hell out of the front liner, installed a proper 3" lift, did a BMC and installed wheel spacers to keep the tires away from the UCAs.
I don't know how the rest of you are getting 285s to fit without a proper lift wheels/spacers, and BMC, or I just articulate and stuff them more than most.

No wheel spacers is the key and stock offset “Trail” rims (not SR5 or limited). Hits the sweetspot of inside (UCAs etc) and outside clearances (fenders, flaps, etc).
Which tires did you go with?

What type of wheel spacers did you use?

Falken Wildpeak AT3W
I put over 59k on my 265's and were still in good enough shape that when I listed for sale several people wanted them.

That's an interesting solution, nice thinking. I wish I had seen that 7 years ago when I started chopping the liner lol. Nothing left now
I had to pull in the front wheel well, trim the lower bumper and remove the front mudflaps to fix 285. Also used a heat gun to push back the fender at various spots I noticed rubbing after offroading. This was with stock suspension but now running 2 inch lift shown in pic. No body chop but it is close at full lock.

Crazy, I'm eyeing a 2" front / 1" rear Dobinsons lift and my installer is concerned that Wildpeaks in just 275 will still rub a lot. Hm.
My new wheels are 17x8.5, 0 offset, 4.75 backspacing. This is encouraging...

I'm running 285's on 17x8.5 0 offset wheels. JBA uppers, body mount chop, and pretty hacked up front mudflaps. Still rubs on the mudflaps and I have eibach springs and 3/4" cornfed spacers out back. If I take them off it doesn't rub at all. But it's not terrible.
