295/70 r18 UCA Clearance

Hey Guys,
I just purchased after days of forum reading about upgrading to the 295/70 r18. Noted, I am running Eibach front suspension 2.5" level. Tires run no issues but how close the tires are to the UCAs concerns me. Does anyone have any input on this to ease my mind? Spacers?

*i am aware of the grease boot, they are being replaced

Any input on this would be appreciated. Okay to run like this? new UCAs, spacers, +25 wheels?

 

It's kinda the nature of the beast w/295s and a mostly stock suspension... That distance should remain a constant through turning radius and suspension travel. The only exception to that is when you air down and mush out the sidewalls a bit, but it still looks like you should have enough (hard to be sure angles are everything).

Spacers can be problematic as a lot of guys that just add spacers end up w/rubbing in the wheel liners, or sway bars/engine skids at full lock.

 

Thanks,
Yeah I wonder if the best bet is going for new wheels and pushing the bumper out. I will prolly ride it out for a few days and see what turns out. I dont notice any rubbing but I do go offroad a bit and wanted to be sure this is normal for all the guys running the 295/70

 

Here are a few threads that you may find some photos/info in that help w/you decisions...

The Coachbuilder TRD Pro

Let’s see pics stock height Pro with 295/70r18

I know a couple of these are Pro threads, but should have some good info and w/you having a 2.5" lift you're just a bit higher than a stock Pro so similar in clearances.

 

I like uca’s for 2.5 inch lift anyways for better alignment quality
