It says 2.5" Daystar lift in the front... Still a tight squeeze for that tire size though. UCA probably not rubbing since he's got aftermarket wheels.

Thanks. I was kind of excited thinking factory wheels bigger tires on my toytec but was worried about my UCA. So I would probably want offset wheels then to solve this? Thanks Superman

Yup. Enough offset to clear the UCA. That's why a lot of folks here run wheel spacers with factory wheels here. Even with aftermarket wheels, I hit my stock UCA's. My tires are just so wide. Needed my SPC UCA's to remedy that. I believe around 285 is also where some folks start to experience clearance issues with body mounts at full bump and full lock. Something else to be aware of.
 
You were able to fit 285s with that lift?? No rubbing inside the wheel well or on UCA?

No rubbing on the stock uca's at all probably have about a 1/2" clearance. As for the fenders there a tight squeeze for sure.

Up front I had to completely remove the front mud flaps, pull the front fender liner forward about 2", cut the pie shaped piece off the bumper that was left exposed, and also trim a small triangular shapped piece off the fender flare on the back side of the wheel well opening. Tire just barely clears the body mount.

For the rear I just had to cut the mud flap off and reinstall the remainder of it to cover the unsightly gap between the body and bumper.

This is only temporary till I can afford the lift I really want. I wasn't really ready to purchase wheels and tires yet but with the good year $60 rebate and discount tires $50 gift card for 4 tires and another $50 gift card for 4 wheels it was hard to pass up.
 
Traxda 3" front and 1.25" rear. Stock 265/70/R16 tires. Honestly I would prefer it to sit just a little higher but it is DEFINITELY much more better looking than before and the ride is great. No regrets! Other than the fact that my shop ripped my ABS wire during the alignment :(

Lift is below and tire size is 285/75/16

How much lift did you gain with the radflo's? I've got 3 inch toytec coilover up front and bout 2-1/2 in back, been thinking bout adding either an inch or 1.25" BL, and my 285/65R18 bfg AT's will be in next week. Your rigs lift is about how I wanna do mine, so now I guess I'll be ordering an inch BL. Lol
