It might change you angles a bit depending on the size... Do you have adjustable control arms?

Yeah, install your equipment and then see...

Your rock rail looks like it just misses the tire in that pic. I guess you have cycled the suspension with no problems though? I had to trim mine for sure (and pinch seem of course) for my 35's.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I have been wondering what size, if any, I will need to add after bumper and winch go on in a few weeks. I have the tf 2.5 coil lift also. Sounds like a 1/2" spacer will do the trick.

Do you guys think the 3" tf spring lift could fit 37's? I'm sure a spring spacer would be needed but what do you guys think?

I'm constantly amazed at the details that some people pick out in posted pics. Yeah, the rails in the pic were really close to the tires. When I was crawling I didn't have any rubbing at all, but If I was flexing over a smaller bump at just the right speed the tires would rub, so I did trim the slider and "adjusted" the pinch seam:

I've had my tires hit my pinch seam, so all the "buzz" that the tire drops down and back is a little confusing. When I'm stuffed it dug in, I trimmed my seams, JB welded them then painted them.

Flat flares are next...
