Last ones. The truck looks amazing, but I have less than an inkpen worth of space on one side at full turn. I’m not ok with it. I get my alignment tomorrow and I’ll update things but I wouldn’t have done this if I knew it would be that close.

Weird. I ran much larger tires with more space.

My hope is that the alignment tomorrow fixes it.

Any idea if that will help?

I think it will. Your caster may be off (not positive enough). If it were me I’d ask for the most positive caster possible within spec. Because I know many many of us can run 33s easy peasy within the caster spec. I think I can run 34s without even needing to remove that crash plate.

Would an alignment be sufficient or do I need to make mention, etc.?

That’s the tricky part. I also plan to tweak around with my caster to fit bigger tires later down the road. I’m just not sure whether that will explode the mind of the toyota intake service tech. What I would do is go to a highly rated alignment shop and explain what you’re trying to do — that is, get the most positive caster you can while remaining within toyota manufacturing specifications. You can try doing that at the dealership but my experience is that they are colossally lazy and stupid and don’t care— they will nod and smile and proceed to make minor adjustments to the extent something is outside of spec (and you may NOT be outside spec). It may be enormously frustrating. But that may just be in Texas.

Please let us know what happens and show us the before and after alignment specs - it would be incredibly valuable information to this community.
