thanks for the props on the rig! I've got the performance springs on mine, they ride really nice! When I get new bumpers I will proly switch over to the constant load springs. My guess is you'll get a bit more lift out of the constant load springs if you're not running after market bumpers and additional weight but will def ride a bit rough.
Decided to change my constant load springs on performance ones in the last minute, I think it was a right decision! Just installed the ma few days ago, they really do ride very nice. Thanks for the feedback!
I agree, good call, glad ya like it man!!! congrats!
I rolled the 275/70 R18's on the stock wheels with no lift, and at full turn it just barley kissed the KDSS arm. It also had about 2 or 3mm of clearance between the tire and UCA at full turn. I went off-roading with the 275/70 R18's with no lift all the time, never rubbed on the fenders or anywhere else, worked out really great actually! My opinion is that is that max size you could go without a lift without some pretty major rubbing issues, i.e. UCA, KDSS, mud flaps, front inner fender etc! I didn't roll the 285's until after my lift and never rolled them on the stock wheels so this is all just in theory, but my guess is if ya wanna run them with no lift, I'd get a six pack of beer on ice and a fresh sawsal blade

yep, you're exactly right, once you put those fuels on there you will solve the UCA and KDSS problem, but you will walk right into a whole new set of problems and if you went offroad at all you would proly lose an entire fenderIt's going to take more than a 6-pack to convince me to break out a sawzall to my 200, or else I'd have a snorkel on it already
There's a lift in my future but probably not until we have a second vehicle in a few years as the 200 is my wife's DD right now. I could swing a 1" set of spacers but I'll hear no end of complaints on a 3" lift from my 5'2" wife. I'd consider spacers or the 18x9 Fuel Anza's with the 20mm offset you run to help with the KDSS and UCA clearance, but I suspect I would end up pushing the problem outward and fender clearance will become the next issue without the lift.
No way around this one, just grab some 275/70 R18's and roll them until ya get a second ride, then slap on the lift, BFG's and Snorkle! Even with a lift my tires come real close at full compression to hitting the fender, I'd say I have about 10mm of clearance, and that's with the Toyota coil springs spacers up front also!
