What have you done to your 2nd gen Tundra today?

Looks good!

 

man, i really wish someone made a 34x11x18" tire.

 

nice work! i just did the same thing. driver's side finished, passenger side started yesterday. hopefully i have time to finish it this week. i noticed my passenger side UCA bj looks a bit leaky, too =/

 

Driver’s side cab mount and passenger side wheel well plastic. You can see cleaner metal in first pic and then at its peak contact. No contact with skid plate at all. I will be installing Eibach stage 2 pro truck kit along with SBC UCAs

 

Oof, just a smidge.

 

I was rubbing my body mount on factory wheels with 3” lift and 35s, adding a 2” spacer or wheels with wider offset fixed the issue

 

Yeah, I know
It's exactly at 1.25 revolutions of the the steering wheel, while turning left. I can probably fix it by slightly adjusting caster. And as I mentioned before, I'm gonna install UCAs and coilovers.

Wheels are at +25.

 

What headlights do you have?

Right, nice

 

Uhhh I always have to verse myself in which direction is positive and negative, but how far outside the fender are they?

 

OEs are +60 for reference...

 

So with the OE’s and a 2” spacer the wheel was about 1” to 1/2” outside the fender, where are yours sitting now?

 

I'm thinking that reduction in offset may be enough to be causing his rubbing; that and not all same size tires are the same size.... 285/75s are about the limit depending on brand for not getting rub w/a +60 offset

 

1" outside the fender

I think that's the case. I read someone here is running the same size on OEM TRD Pros if I'm not mistaken, with no rubbing. I agree that not all same tire sizes are the same size. These are 35.1"

 

Yeah might be a hare too big, just chop the body mount and be done; going with more offset might make it worse

 

2" spacer sounds like a bad idea

 

It’s about the same as running wheels with +10 offset, or a 9” wide wheel with ~+22mm offset.

 

ha, whatever helps you sleep at night. your bearings will be having nightmares

 

No, seriously. It’s the same. I run stock wheels, no spacers, and couldn’t care less what somebody else puts on their rigs. But the topic has been discussed: the only difference between spacers and more negative offset wheels is an extra component in the hub assembly with the ‘potential’ for failure - not to be confused with a ‘propensity’ for failure. As far as your hub is concerned, leverage is leverage and the hub is seeing the same moment via spacers as it is from more aggressive offsets.

 

ok

 

The biggest hazard to spacers is the person installing them lol

most failures are because people don’t install them correctly or don’t get hubcentric spacers

 

You're both right, actually. It is the same, aside from additional failure points. But it doesn't invalidate what grave said - moving the center line of the wheel outward does have some (how much is another topic) affect on the bearings, it's just physics. Put a 5lb weight in your hand and hold your arm out straight for 5 mins, wait till the next day and put the same weight on your elbow with your arm out straight again. You'll notice a marked difference in fatigue. It all comes back to center of gravity.

 

no spacers ever

 

Would it change your mind to know that every light duty dually runs 5” spacers on the front wheels…?

 

no

 

Wanted to post this here before a sell thread; removed my ICS Fab Dash Mount… gonna be selling it so if any of yall are interested let me know, paid $100 total for it so give me your offer (comes with hardware)

(looking to sell the truck so that’s why I took it out, it works great and handled my iPad and phone with no movements)

Another mod.. can’t decide whether to black out the button trims too.

 

I’ve been eyeing these…why ya parting with the 2nd gen
