    Can you find any under $400? I’d be game. I’m also in the market for mud flaps that can mount to the bottom and not in the wheel well.

    Option 1:

    I’ve got the bushwacker smooth style flares. I ordered them from an eBay seller that accepted offers. Offer the Ebay (your choice) seller around $350-$375.

    Option 2:

    EGR smooth style flares. They look good from what I’ve seen. Here is a photo I pulled from the web. Part # 754694

    Thanks! I wasn’t aware of the EGR option. They are just so damn pricey... I always hoped I’d be able to find a junk yard OEM set but those are worth their weight in gold as well.

    Zero trimming, zero rubbing even on flex. Toytec coils and ALL in the rear. I never gotpre measurements but I'm thinking around 2"

    Yes, the oem TRD flares are nice but the price is ridiculous. The Bushwhacker and EGR flares are very comparable. I wanted the smooth style flares and they work great for what I need. Here is a deal I saw today on AutoAnything. Damn good price I think.

    That is a sweet price!

    My birthday is coming up.... :D

    But I want to paint match my topper, I need the Spidertrax for the back wheels, I want some other toys for my other hobbies.. never ending story - let's see what wins.

    What’s the problem with UCA’s and the 4Runner snowflake wheels? My bro just put some on (265/70r17 stock suspension) and they seem to be fine. :notsure: I plan to do the same, run 275/70r17 KO2’s on flakes, but my truck has 5100’s set @ 3rd notch. Will I have issues?

    A great size for your setup would be the 255/75/17 KO2’s (46lbs each)

    I live in snow 5 months outta the year, which is why I am buying KO2’s (great snow reviews + 3 peak snow rating) I believe the wider tires will assist in icy surfaces due to more surface area... thanks for suggestion though, had not considered them.

    Checking back in:
    6112 at 1.6" 21.5 hub to fender
    SPC set at 2, Caster is set at 2.4 anything more put things to far into the + camber #s, currently .5 and .2.
    BFG KO2s 275/70/17 no spacers - rub on left turns both sides, on the frame.

    Update1 2.5k:
    I made the trek out west across KS for some mountain time a month ago. The tires did great. Before I felt that 1st gear with the 5speed was a little too harsh. I am sure it is nice when loaded or towing something big but day to day I had to make an effort to ease the throttle a bit. 1st has mellowed out a bit. There were no issues at elevation even being a bit over cargo capacity with the shell on, 4 adults and all the gear to go along with winter in the mountains. The tires did fine in the snow.

    I ended up getting 285/70r17’s, only because I realized they would fit with alittle trimming and I didnt want heavy or E rated tires. Which unfortunately most of the 275’s are. I think with a crew cab you might be able to fit 285’s stock? but not sure as I have a AC
