We trimmed a little bit of the bumper, not much. Got a photo of your trim job?

So far I'm not hearing any rubbing once I removed the front mudflaps, which were full on rubbing, so bad on my way down to CA I stopped to get coffee and reversed, and it sucked the right flap up against the tire and I damn near had to cut it off with my pocket knife.

But so far no rubbing on the body mount, even when I was sliding down a hill at the off road park.

I'm going to install upgraded bump stops because it's cheap insurance. The Bushwacker flares should be out soon, but those won't really improve any clearance issues.

No pictures of the bumper but i'll see if i can take one later. We just used a box cutter and did a nice clean cut. I removed the mudflaps before mounting the tires because I knew those would rub for sure.

As far as rubbing on the body mount, i rub when i turn at full lock over a bump or when in reverse. I'll get it chopped and welded before my next wheeling trip. I'd rather not have chunks of my tire come off like some people i know haha.

Interesting, I don't get any rubbing on reverse.

it's the lower offset, wider wheel, and wheel spacer that's causing my rub when i turn. it pushes the wheel closer to the cab mount.

I just did the math and i sit 57.25mm further out than the oem trd pro wheels. so when i turn, i'm that much closer to things.

The price of LOOKING cool. Frankly I think the 285s look great as is, and will especially look good with the bushwacker flares when those are released. But I didn't want to install anything that decreased performance or made another link in the chain that could break off road.

Yea that's what it really is. I didn't need 285 M/Ts but they look pretty sick compared to 265 A/Ts. I wheel about once a month and 265 A/Ts definitely wouldve done the job.

Well ok I got the ICON Stage 2 (Tubular UCA) installed- didn't know I needed the rear track bar so that slowed the install down by a few days :shrug: and blacked out some of the chrome (LINEX Spray). First few pics are stock last few are after a few minor mods.

Great looking rig! What is the rear track bar you mentioned? And why was it needed? I have the same lift that I'm patiently waiting to install. I'm collecting all the needed parts so I can install everything at once.

Thank you

Thanks. I may be mistaken as stated in various other threads this was my first install so I am no expert. With that said, I installed the ICON Stage 2 and the 3'' overland rear spring, could not for the life of me reattach the rear KDSS- it was to the point that I questioned whether or not I was going to get rid of the KDSS but I walked away..... called ICON (Joe) and he instantly asked whether I had the ICON Rear Track Bar, I said nope and he said yep its needed- its slightly articulated (bent) enough to reattach the rear KDSS. Once the track bar was installed no issues with rear KDSS. Some others here believe that the aftermarket track bar is not needed but in my case it was and it worked. I think the part # is 54200, call ICON to make sure or check out their site to verify. Thanks.
