    So I’ve got a set of 285/70r17 and some sick rims on my old truck that I want to move to my new truck. Does anyone know if they will fit if I just LEVEL the front instead of lifting the whole thing?

    the tires I have on my truck right now are 265/70r17. No rub or anything.

    EDIT: Added photos of both trucks. Grey is old, red is new.

    It's going to help a lot if you tell us what your old truck is, and I guess we're to assume you have some form of 1st Gen Tundra for your new truck? Post some pics of those sick rims, bro. It's also going to be important to know offset/backspacing.

    I added photos. Only difference is that the new truck is 4WD and double cab. Both ‘05 Tundra

    I don’t think 2” is enough on a DC but offset, width and the type of tire all matter too. My 265/70/17 coppers measure 32” IIRC. On trail wheels they rub at full lock in reverse at stock height. If you go 2” initially it’s going to sag some. I plan on going with ome 2887 or Dobinson 314 springs. Those are going to make you squat a bit without something in the rear though. I will be using ats hd springs out back.

    6112s up front w/ 650 lb springs, 5160s in the rear, JBA UCAs, Suspension Maxx Links, ATS leafs w/ Wheeler's AAL and overload spring, Toyota Gloss Gunmetal TRD Wheels, Toyo Open Country AT3s 275/70/17
    On the rear, you're fine. I've got a 2"ish lift at the front (bilstein 6112's on #8/#6) and about a 1" lift at the rear. I have 275/70/17s on TRD wheels, which are 7" wide with a +4 offset. I have absolutely no rub in any direction. At full lock, I'm real close to the fender. and I have maybe about 3/4" or 1" clearance to the spindle/UCA. If I were a betting man, I'd say I could clear them except maybe at full lock. Most people on here cannot totally clear them with a 2" lift without doing some trimming.
