...was able to find the OEM wheels and roof rack from a Trailhunter at an affordable price. I also added the sidestep, rear step, bed cover, and the ARK mud flaps. I'm always looking at what else I can do. I'm thinking of doing the front with the Trailhunter grille and skid plate. Leveling kit...
...to trim studs. My Sons 25 is running 25mm Bonoss spacers which is about 1" on factory TRD 7.5 x 17s and it just pokes as they say. We added front ARK mud flaps just to kick down the mud a bit and they work perfect. Keep in mind the factory 17 are 7.5 and the 18 are 8 inch width.
Side note...
...mounting system. If anyone is in the San Diego area and wants to buy a sports rack, let me know.
still considering wheel/tire combo, but i'm not worried about that for a while,
Still need to install ARK Splash Guards.
First thing i did was swap the map/dome lights with meso customs.
...of adding a few things.
Today i added RC molle panels, cali raised stiffeners. Tomorrow my OVS topper is supposed to arrive, will also be putting ARK splash guards on.
only things left are tinted windows and black camo leather seat covers from Leland that seem to be stuck in customs since 2/6
Before I did the lift no rubbing issues. I did remove the crash bracket and placed ARK shields in place. However, I want to retain my mud flaps and it was super close to them, so I moved my caster up a tini tiny but then it was perfect. Either way, no rubbing.

did the 285/70/18's fit with the Oem mudflaps at full lock? I'm debating 275/70 or 285/70's for my Pro but trying to keep the weight gain as minimal as I can
Just use a slightly larger screw or a different thread pattern if they're stripped. I used some of the hardware from my ark flaps as my rear plate mounting holes we stripped out from the dealer
...295/70s if you remove the crash bar and oem mudflaps. I still had tini tinrub until I moved up the caster slightly but that’s because I kept my ARK low profile flaps which consumed about 2mm of clearance. Once I lifted my TH another 1.5 inch from stock, caster back at nominal with flaps, no...
...Dobinson springs to lift the TH another 1.5 inch front and back. But even before then, I had no concerns. I removed the crash bracket and added ARK shields in their place. I also moved the caster slightly forward for full clearance but after the lift now no need for that.
I don't have any...
Not sure if this is helpful for comparison, but SR5 with no aftermarket fender flares +20mm offset, 8.5" trailhunter wheels 275/70 tires, ark mid mud flaps. I've been out on some service roads and have heard a rocks hit the sides of the truck.
