    I just ordered the Toytec TU3 Spacer lift. 3” spacers with 1” rear block and diff drop. Also ordered 4 Spidertrax Wheel spacers for the OEM TSS +50 offset
    Anything else I need to install the or add? I am on pavement 100% of the time and Toytec told me the spacer lift is what I need with a close to stock ride

    I have the Toytec TU3 kit with negative 44 offset wheels, 33”x12.5” Ridge Grapplers and here’s what I have to deal with ...

    I’m pretty sure the tss wheels are a positive 50 offset, op should be good to go with that setup

    that has nothing to do with the @toytec kit and everything to do with your -44 offset rims on a small lift.. no offence but you should have done more research and you wouldn't have those rubbing issues

    Lol ... I know the kit didn’t cause the rubbing issue. I was just trying to let the OP know what to expect since he purchased the same kit and he mention wheel spacers to get him to a negative 55 offset (well, at least that’s how I read his intentions).

    As for my research, I did use Custom Offsets website and knew there would be rubbing issues. BMC is scheduled for Sunday ... I was caught a little off guard by the rubbing on the liner though. Already have a aftermarket bumper so knew I wasn’t gonna have issues there.

    Oh and too the OP ... I previously had 295/60 tires on a positive 20 offset wheel with 1” Bora wheel spacers pushing me out to a negative 5 at the wheel and I had rubbing on the body mount at full lock while in reverse.

    Just trying to provide you with some ... research!

    Do you think a TRD front sway bar would help ride any with a spacer lift? I’ve seen threads where some take the front off with coilover upgrades, but haven’t seen anything for spacer lifts.

    Thanks, corrected my posts above. This is how it sits today on 275 60R20s. The tires are tucked in behind the flares

    I have +0 and pocket flares, and my wheels stick a tiny bit out. Something like an effective +12 to +20 should be flush

    Alot of them
    Your ride will be a little stiffer with the spacers, and the sway bar will not make it smoother. I just pulled out a spacer kit after a year and a half and went to coilovers and shackles. It rides a hell of alot better.

    Not many yet, mostly stock.
    you need a CMC and mod the inner seams and use a heat gun to lay that inner fender well plastic to lay flatter. If your having any rubbing up front, get some bumper shims.

    ‘Thanks, as I stated earlier ... I’m scheduled for the BMC/CMC tomorrow. We’ll look into what needs to be done to the liner then. No bumper issues since I have an aftermarket bumper :thumbsup:

    1.25” = roughly 32mm. If your stock wheels are a positive 50, then with spacers you’ll be around a positive 18. You’re tires will be close to flush with your flares (maybe alittle recessed) but you shouldn’t have any rubbing issues with stock sized tires.

    Just got the Toytec 3” spacers installed with Spidertrax 1.25” wheel spacers on 275 60R20 TSS rims
    There is a rub on the passenger side when backing up, going to remove the front flap tmrw. The ride quality is pretty close to stock, no complaints on ride on gravel or payment. I’m glad I went with the Toytecs, appreciate the advice. 053041DA-448C-45D2-9B7C-532EE18A2620.jpg 87223624-BA42-4251-BEC7-601EDE395E2E.jpg

    Congrats, looks great! I forgot about the flaps since I installed fender flares and aftermarket bumper.

    Thanks @r4z0r51o! Hoping the rub is just on the front flaps, otherwise no issues. Does this look right? Seems off to me but no noise or ride issues

    I think you should be okay once the flaps are removed. I had 295/60’s and also had some rubbing on the front liner that I applied heat to slightly reshape/mold it. As for the install, looks right to me ...

    Here’s a few photos of how my install was conducted incorrectly at first and after being redone.
