I’m thinking of putting a mcgaughys 9” lift kit, on my trailboss will I need a drive line spacer?

Yes, quite a bit actually.  I had to remove the bracket behind the fender liner, trim the splash guards a lot, and zip-tie the felt liner back as far as I could.  There is still some very minor rubbing at full lock, but it isn't grabbing the plastic anymore so I'm good with it.  I don't really want to trim any more because I want to avoid holes in the fender liner.

I know this is a relatively old post, however it's probably worth mentioning that these are the LT 285/55/22 (124/121Q) which is the hybrid version.  The inflated height/diameter is 34.61" with a width of 11.69". This is a larger tire in height from the AT or MT versions of the same tire.  AT is D-34.37" and W-11.69" while the MT is D-34.53" and W-12.05"

Maybe something to consider when determining lift/level amount and any potential trimming needed.

I know this is an old post but it's probably worth mentioning that these tires are the 285/55/22 LT (124/121Q) which is the hybrid version of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.  They are larger in diameter than both the MT and AT versions of the same tire.   I know sometimes it comes down to a matter of millimeters when determining lift/level and any potential trimming so here are the inflated measurements of the LT/MT and AT for comparison if considering the LT 285/55/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

 

HYBRID- Diameter 34.61"/Width 11.69"____MT- Diameter 34.53"/Width 12.05"_____AT- Diameter 34.37/Width 11.69"
