Hows this setup?

Well...after 3 weeks with my Tundra/OME lift, I am already deciding on my next "big move". I want to clear 285/75's without a body lift or any rubbing at all; or very very minimally. So this is my thought:

1. Keep Tundra coils and Trek's and add a 1" Cornfed spacer.
2. Get LC coils and shocks for rear.
3. Extended Panhard bar.
4. Extended Brake Line.
5. Diff. drop.

Its pretty much a SS system, but I'm not looking to pay $1200 when I already have $350 of it.

Anyone ever run Tundra's with the Cornfed 1" spacer with LC coils?

Any other ideas would be more then appreciated. Thanks.

Would you mind to post some pics so I could see how level yours is with the spacers?

You shouldn't need to do anything. The only rubbing I had with my 285's was prior to the Tundra/890 lift " I had the 2.5"spacers" and it was on the running boards. After I took the die grinder to and took off a .5", Yes a 1/2" on the very inside it didnt rub at all. With the Tundra/ 890 there is no rubbing at all. The only thing I would suggest is making a bracket for your rear brake line if you havent already. You dont need any of that stuff to clear your 285's. My rig is a Limited and I didn't do any of it. I would do all of it if your going any taller though! Spacer= Diffdrop =LC's= Panhard bar= brake line.

I do believe that you will start really jacking up the geometry of things if your planning on running the Tundra/890 with an 1.5" spacer, even with the diffdrop spacers, which you should be running with your Tundras anyhow. You should just go with a body lift if you want more height. Check out RooRrunners rig.

No, It's not rubbing at all, not even with the wheel cranked all the way. With your rig I wouldn't even worry about it, you don't have the flares or running boards. It used to barely rub when I had the 2.5" spacers on, and thats when I trimmed the 1/2" off the inside of the boards. But that was it. Even then it barely rubbed.The wheels are 16X8 6-5.5 x4"BS

I have the "bushwacker" flares. I might just end up running it with the topout spacer and some new wheels with that magic backspacer number.
