I am worried it won’t clear the uca. Easy enough to try. I had 275/65/18 and they cleared uca but not by a lot.

Worst case I just need spacers? This will be my off-road set. I will still have stocks to drive.
Grinchy was that on the Land Cruiser wheels you had? thanks Dwight
I'm on my way to Costco.. they have $110 off a set of BFG. so right about 1000 installed..
Yes 18x8 j 60 tundra five spokes
Has anyone who has done this lift (and especially installed the 30mm rear spacers) had issues with the LX not wanting to lower itself?
I have the easy exit option enabled which lowers the car when I shut it off. When it's just me or me + passenger in the car, it works 100% fine. But any weight in the rear, such as my dog in the cargo area, or passengers in the 2nd row, and it seems that half the time the car does not even attempt to lower itself when I shut it off. Can't help thinking this is related to the sensor lift.

I know it feels like a crap shoot, but there are a lot of factors that go into it actually lowering.
1) doors must remain closed
2) i've noticed that a cycle wont complete (raise or lower) if your foot is on the brake pedal. It might go half way and stop until you release the brake. My guess is that it's a measure to prevent too much binding if the brakes are engaged.
3) flat surface. Is your driveway really steep?

My driveway is flat. I've noticed the open-door aspect, but not the foot-on-brake; maybe that's the culprit in my case. I'll pay more attention to this!
You may be over weight. Do you have armor? According the the AHC doc the front axle weight can't exceed 3200 lbs and the rear axle can't exceed 3900 lbs. I don't recall the exact weights...I'll have to look it up. The doc does mention the AHC may not work if those weights are exceeded.
Just a thought. I'll dig up the details....
Completely stock, without third row seats.
Best way to see this is to hold the brake in D and try to raise to HI mode. At some point, the arrow will stop flashing until you fully release the pedal. In my case, inching forward a few inches doesn't trick it. Moving to N and popping off the brake for a second finishes the cycle.

This is what I'm running for Duratracs in my 2010 LX...it is close to the UCA, but I've only ever noticed rubbing in the low position at full lock with travel...e.g. backing out driveway too quickly over curb before car has raised to normal mode. All other conditions no rubbing.
Ayup, suspension binding which is completely normal. Suspension movement follows an arc. When the brakes, parking brake, hill, or combination thereof is applied, it doesn't allow the tire to move as freely, particularly in the forward or aft direction relative to the vehicle.
Are you sure it doesn't lower? If the rear is heavily laden, I've noticed when first parking, it will lower. When the passengers or weight is removed, it'll have a great tendency to jack upwards.
The few times I'm thinking of it definitely did not lower. I haven't had passengers or weight in the rear since I posted, so I haven't had a chance to see the problem again. When it's just me or me + passenger it is lowering fine (I've been paying attention to that). And holding the brakes (in Park) doesn't affect it - still lowers as expected.
First, thanks for all the info and help from these forums. I finally got my wheels and tires. I had some time to take some pictures. The measurements are not accurate by any means. 1st picture is stock with LO setting. 2nd is stock with HI setting. 3rd is front AHC mod on HI setting. 4th is rear AHC mod on Hi setting. 5th picture is trimming I had to do for front without rubbing on LO-N-HI. And Last picture is with the wheels on LO-N-HI settings. Im running 285/70/17 Ridge Grappler. Tires sticks out about 3/4" inch from fender. As for AHC mod, I painted what the OEM spot was. The rear is easy as well, you just gotta take the wheel off.

What’s the height offset utility?
Wow are those 0offset
its using offsets in techstream to change the corner heights.
