I went with a 1” motofab lift, Ridge Grappler 305/55/R20, fuel Vandal 20x9 +1 offset.  We had to remove the bracket behind the mud flap as it was pushing the mud flap forward and making it rub against the tire at full lock.  After removal, we were able to push the mud flap back about a half inch and now have zero rub.

Did you have any issues putting the 1” lift on here with the stock 2” lift? How did that all work out?

275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

No issues here, I stayed on the safe side and just went with the 1".  I know a lot of others were going with the 1.5" but I really worried about using either of those.  But a guy on the FB groups said he personally talked to Motofab and they recommended going with just the 1".  So far no issues and I love it.  I started with a 2" rake, now I am at about 3/4" rake.

I went with the 1" as well. I wouldnt want to push it any further.

Your truck looks great. Would you be willing to snap a side profile? Curious about how far that wheel and tire setup would sit from the body. I love the stock wheels and was thinking about getting some new tires and possibly spacers.

Anyone know what the widest tire that can be run with the factory 18" wheel and no spacers? I've been eyeballing the toyo mt in 35x12.5r18 but i have a feeling they will rub on the ball joint.

pg 3...at4 barely pulls off  35x12x5 duratracs with minor rubbing.

trailboss might be different...also if you throw in a 1 or 1.5" leveling kit that could help. 

 

duratracs are actually (34.8"x12.5")

toyo mts vary the 128Q (same as duratracs).....123Q(35"x13.2")

wow cant believe i missed that. Thanks!! The trail boss and at4 should have the same balljoint/knuckle clearance. Trail boss just has a little bit larger wheel well opening.

got 305/55x20 BF Ko2 All terrains on my AT4 with the stock 20's.  no rub except for when there is caked on mud in the wells so it's close.  

how big of a lift? Im looking at putting 285/65/20 on my truck all it has is the 2 inch factory lift in it.

I have the Motofab 1.5" level with 20x9 +1 Fuel Mavericks and 305/55R20 Ridge Grapplers.

 

I did not have to trim or modify the mudflap and have no rubbing so you should have no problem with a +20 offset.

Hey bro. Is this the 1” level kit you went with?

I like the rake and don’t want to get rid of it completely, but have 20x10 -18’s and 305/55’s coming and don’t want to run into any slight rubbing issues.

Thanks!

Yeah, that is it, but you can get it on ebay for cheaper.  Also, you are going to rub alot with the 20x10 -18, I tried to put those on but the 20x9's rubbed way too much.  You will need to go with at least a 2" lift if you want to run 305/55, otherwise you will get lots of rubbing.  If you are fine with cutting up the mudflap, then you wont have an  issue, but I didnt want to go that far with it.

Thanks for the heads up. Spoke to two people. One in a stock AT4 with the same wheels and 295/55 that fit perfectly, zero rubbing and one with a LTZ with a 2” level up front that had to cut into his mudflap. I figure on a Trailboss with an Inch more height then the LTZ and 2” Level and removing the mud flap bracket and cutting it a little I’ll be fine. Just trying not to cut into the fender liners.

As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
