TRD OffRoad - Lift / Flaps / Tire Size

[KrucksGarage]

I have a scenario to throw out there for review and maybe folks can share pictures of their similar application?

I have a 2024 TRD Offroad, considering installing the Westcott Designs Preload Collar Lift, (2.5" front, and 0.75" rear lift).

I would like to run a 285/75R-17 Falken WildPeak A/T3W tire on Method Racing 703 17X8.5 wheels with a +35 offset. I'm looking for minimal "poke".

My question is regarding mudflap clearance in this scenario. I'm considering the RokBlokz mud flaps, and deciding between the standard mount rally flaps, or their high clearance version that comes with the brackets to get the flap out of the wheel well and moves the flap to the outside and back from the standard mount position, which includes the brackets to do so. I know the 285/70R-17 will fit without issue on the standard mount style flap, curious anyone's experience running 285/75R-17 with the Westcott Preload Collar lift and standard mount RokBlokz vs. high clearance, to know and see pics regarding tire clearance comparison. I like the slightly larger tire size in function and appearance. I just can't find the right pictures after searching.

I installed the 5-degree RCI rock sliders.

I'm also looking at installing the 50-degree RCI rock sliders.

I have the exact setup you are describing. No rubbing with normal street use. Let me know if you want some pics. Wescott/285-75/rok/method

Oh cool yea that would be great I'd love to see some different angles of the fitment areas, and just shoes around the truck whatever you can provide would be awesome. Thank you, that's exactly what I was hoping to find throwing that post out there.

would you be able to show me that set up as well ? I have 285/70/17 on +15 offset and was wondering the same thing before buying.

She's almost done for a while but here is where we are:

Dobinsons upper control arms.
Dobinsons IMS front and rear shocks with heavier springs in teal.
Dobinsons adjustable rear sway bar links due to the 2ish inches of lift I'm getting.
Eastcoast Gear Supply clamshell bushing to get rid of the needle bearing.

Icon Recon 17 inch tires with a +25 offset with matching spare.
285 70 r17 falken wildpeak at4w in 6 ply.


If I had it to do over, I'd have just kept stock wheels, ran the same size tire, and not needed many of the upgrades I've done since the offset is so different from the stock wheels. I also lost about 3 mpg.

Fun facts:

My truck would rub on some big bumps or steep drops before I swapped the suspension. The change in the offset from the new tires and the tires themselves made me almost rub when stationary but you'd feel it hit when going over an abrupt bump with speed, like a tree root or similar. The lift isn't completely done yet, I've been sick, but once that's dialed in I should have added about an inch and a half of travel in front and be lifted 1 inch as well.

Pictures? Also, is the Eastcoast Gear Supply clamshell bushing mod required when increasing shaft angles?

Chloe found she needed to do it as she did get the vibration after her lift, so I did it to avoid any headache since I was already half way there.

I'll have pics when I am back in town. I'm traveling.
