Extended bump stops needed with 1.25" spacers to not hit fender?

    Everyone says I will be hitting the fenders at full compression with what I'm wanting. Could I add extended bump stops on the front and rear to save my fenders? I really want the aggressive stance where the tires site just outside the fender edge. Even if that costs me a little suspension travel.

    3" Bilstein 6112/5160 suspension lift
    17x9 wheel 0 offset
    285/70/17 Toyo Open Country AT3
    1.25" Spidertrax spacers
    BMC and Fender trimming as needed

    Stock wheel offset is +15mm. 0mm wheel and 1.25" spacer means your new tire will be steering over a 1.85" wider arc. You will be cutting your fenders and bumper cover aggressively to clear the tires anyway, so cut proportionally at the top ;)

    I'm aware I was going to be doing a lot of cutting. My concern was at full compression banging into the top of the fender and if extended bump stops front and back would fix that

    Personally I would ditch the spacers and keep the extra travel. You will be on them more often which will make the ride harsh.

    It'll be city driven 95% of the time with some remote camping sprinkled throughout the year. I know it sounds silly but I just have to have that wide stance lol.

    Nah broseph. Plenty of RR crossings and dips that will cause full compression on the daily.

    Yeah, give it a good, long re-think. Maybe even ask on this forum and elsewhere for people who've done what you want to do, and for the same reasons. Then ask about any regrets they had/have.

    Yes, and it would be a worthwhile upgrade anyway as the stock bump stops are hard as hockey pucks.
