Body mount clearance

Hello all, can anyone tell me if a finger width space is enough for clearance from fully locked tire to body mount? Or am I playing with fire? Here are some pics of my clearance, driver side and passenger side. Thanks

 

Looks good to me. What size tires?

 

@TrailSpecial22 I'm runnin 285/70/17 with approximately 2” front lift and dobinsons UCA’s.

 

i’m running 285s as well, but with stock upper control arms and a 2 inch lift from Bilstein and my clearance is like yours and no issues. I’ll try to get a picture of mine in the morning

 

How much caster angle are you getting with that setup?

 

Just remember you are on flat ground.

Any suspension flex it will be different.

 

@TrailSpecial22 thanks that would be cool. Like I said, I have about a finger width of clearance or approximately half inch clearance.

@Dillusion about how much flex and how much play? I don’t rock crawl or don’t do anything hardcore, just moderate trails.

 

You'd get even more with SPC UCAs, if you start having trouble I'd try them before a bmc

 

Dont know I've never hit the trail (whatever sad ones we got) and got out and looked at my clearance.

If it rubs then you will know.

 

i want to say 3.6, but I’ll have to dig up my last aligment sheet

 

I don’t know about fire, but i am running 285/75/17 Toyo R/Ts with 2.5 front 2” springs rear and have a very good experience on and off road.

 

@SlvrSlug I’m assuming you have a bmc?

 

@Goose Goose
hey OP, lots of good info for ya.

Although I dunno that you’re safe from rubbing with one finger clearance. Stuffing the suspension will be the test.

I’ve seen many dudes post flexing positions, @Yotaholic may be able to ease your mind on the question of 1/2” clearance while on ground being sufficient once stuffed

 

I have 3/2.5" lift and had to chop the crap out of my body mounts for flexing clearance on 285/75/17 nitto ridge grapplers.

 

lol nice
sounds like me, after, I said for 5 years I’d never start chopping and welding my new truck.
factory UCA’s?

 

OP needs a Viper cut. I also gained 20 more horsepower with the Viper cut

 

I am running 285/75/17s, you will be fine. Go and hit the trails

 

@Goose Goose Yes i do have the bmc.

 

Same lift here with 8.5 wheels and 0 offset 285 70 17 KO3s and Icon UCA , I have a mile of clearance

 

No "fire" danger here. If the tire rubs on the trail, it'll just rub some paint off the cab mount.
