    3 -2 lift 285/70/17
    Has anyone had any problems with installing a 3-2 front rear lift and 285/70/17 tires on factory wheels with rubbing on the front control arms?

    After my 6112's install, and same size tires, my factory TRD Offroad skid plate rubbed at full lock both forward and reverse. Needed a little bending. TRD pro skid I put on cleared fine.

    Try some Spidertrax spacers to push the wheel out away from the upper control arm.

    Was really not wanting to run spacers especially on the front. I seen where 285/70/17 could be ran. I guess I want to make sure the lift was installed properly before I invest in new wheels.

    thanks for the suggestion

    Stock wheels have too much backspacing, that's why they rub.
