#17
Love the truck. Got same tires on order will be here monday have lift already sitting on shop floor. I am worried because i am planning on going oem wheels without spacers, and adjusting my driving style but been reading and a little concerned i hope that the toyo tread does not hit upper ball joint just the control arm during hard turns. Have alignment scheduled for morning of 24th any imput would be great Thanks
thanks for all the replies guys

Did the tires rub the upper control arm all the time, or was it only when you were turning? I've talked to lots of people who had the BFG KM2 35's and only rubbed at full lock. I just put a deposit down to order the toyo's today and I'm hoping I didn't shoot myself in the foot. The shop isn't going to order them until Monday morning so please let me know asap. I don't want to have to run spacers with these if I can run the KM2's without spacers.
Thanks!

Well crap, I forgot about your post about how these rubbed when you put them on.

I never took the spacers off. Truck was driving fine with them on and havent had any time the last couple of weeks to try without them. Just trimmed some plastic the other day and now have no rubbing anywhere, even at full lock. When I was at the tire shop getting the tires put on. Tried them without the spacers first and there was barely any clearance between the tires and upper control arm, but never actually drove the truck without the spacers. sorry i cant be more help

Hey no worries, thanks for replying.
I canceled the Toyo's and ordered the BFG's anyway, as I think they are a little lighter, easier fit, and I really wanted to try them out. I may play with a 1/4" spacer (even though I hate the idea) to see if I can eliminate the control arm rubbing at full lock.

I think it's just an illusion. I thought the same thing at first too until I looked at the closer pics.
