I was just thinking. Benc your at 2" so if I run a 1" body lift along with your setup it should clear

The tires I am wanting are the toyo mt and they do make them in that tire size so I'd probably be happy with them. I guess if I ever wanted to change tires then I could worry about tire size.
I've been on 285/75r18 Toyo MT's for 3 years and ~40,000 miles. THIS was when I put them on prior to HIH3 back in 2013. The old girl put on alot of weight shortly after that when I built it but I still only have minor frame rubbing at full lock. I didn't have any rubbing till I cranked the t-bars up after adding the bumper/winch and put the rake at ~1" or so. Too much rake on the truck when I first had the tires put on IMO. Since then the truck has been wheeled in Tennessee, Colorado, Maine and Canada without any tire fitment issues. I never did the 1" body lift, just the Ironman suspension lift. I still have the Jonesy's body lift kit sitting in a bag in my shop somewhere LOL. I had no concerns doing ~4500mi roundtrip to HIH, wheeling there and coming back. Same thing on the ~4200mi trip into the North Maine Woods and Canada this past summer. If I would've had even the slightest concern after HIH I would've downsized prior to the last big trip.
And for the sake of the title "post your pics":

Ok maybe you guys can help with this one I decided to go with the 275/75/18 toyo mt. I already had an idea of what wheel I wanted which is the FN wheels BFDs. Called them and talked to Dustin which another member here referee me to him. He said the offset on the wheels may be too much for my setup.
Here are the specs on the wheel.
He did say he can send me a sample wheel to see if I can test for which would be nice but I'd like to have a better idea of fitment before asking for the test wheel. Most you guys I see with the bigger tires are running stock wheels. Do you have spacers or just running the factory offset. Any ideas. He did say they are coming out with a 100 series specific wheel in May that will be a 17" wheel that would have 2 offsets but I checked out the design(five star) and I still prefer the BFD design. Plus I'll have to find another tire size again unless I say oh well and just go with 35x12.5x17.

I was on factory 16s with 1 1/4" spacers and now on factory 18" tundra wheels with 1 1/4" spacers and that seems to be perfect.Ok maybe you guys can help with this one I decided to go with the 275/75/18 toyo mt.

@Redman333, +12mm offset wheel is the equivalent of running a 48mm wheel spacer (1.9") on stock wheel. Toyo MT's in 285/75R18 run a little wider than most tires this size because of the bigger side lugs. They will rub occasionally while off-road. If that bothers you, go with a 1+" body lift.... or trim the front fender lip.
Want to sell me your body lift. I'll pay the $150 they have it listed for now from Duiser's website. For some reason I can't buy from the website and he won't return my emails. Can't seem to find it anywhere else.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing for a spare? I would love to go to your size, but I was under the impression that size wouldn't fit underneath, and you don't have a rear carrier.
New Bfg A/T 315's with minimal contact with inner right side fender when fully locked. Slee 2.5" with Spc uca and Ironman foam cells. No wheel spacers.

OME lift or AHC lift? Any rubbing/issues? I have about 2.25" lift up front and a hair under 2" out back and am hopeful they will fit without major rubbing. I don't mind trimming or hammering back pinch welds if needed. Got a front view shot and maybe a closer shot? Any wheel spacers?
AHC lift, plus coil spacers, and 30mm spacers in the rear. No rubbing issues on the road, and no wheel spacers. I'll get you a couple more pix...
Sure, give me a day or so to make sure I can put my hands on it. Pretty sure I saw it the other day when I was reorganizing my shop.
I had a Slee Rear Bumper on order when I moved to 35's. I gambled and stuck a 285/75R16 underneath until then as it was only for a few weeks.
What bumper and light combo do you have?
There's a little more noise with these versus the the K02's that I had, but other than that I'm happy with them, I hoping to get on the trails this weekend to give them a go.
