    So my wheels are 35s and they rub my suspension in the front. Idk what the part(bar) is called but I'll include and picture. Also I've noticed my wheels lean out at the top bc they are extremely close to my upper arms. (pic included) my question is this. Would it be better/ cheaper to do a wheel spacer kit and how would that affect my angles? I've heard ppl talk about angles of the suspension but I dont understand how it all effects the driving and steering. Or, would it be better to do a 2" lift (assuming 2" would be enough to run 35s with no rubbing)

    I’m surprised that you’re running 35’s with no lift, you must have some serious rubbing going on. Spacers will push your wheels out from your shocks but wouldn’t fix the rub on the BM and under bumper. I say do a 3” lift, blocks or suspension depending on your budget and a BMC and push in your plastic bumper liner and get the new setup aligned and you’re good.

    Im new to all this all you'll have to explain what is a BM? And BMC? And I think the truck has the front shocks adjusted all the way up bc I only have like a 1 inch rake which I was told stock they come with st just a 3inch rake.

    Every Tundra is different, when I bought mine it had less than a 2” rake so I put in the Rough Country 1.75” level kit in the front and it was leveled. BM=Body Mount, BMC=Body Mount Chop. You’re cutting the portion of the body mount behind your front tires that’s not allowing your tires to clear.

    I dont want to cut anything just yet. And not by myself I dont think. I'll probably do a lift just not sure when with the whole virus/work thing going on..

    Yeah I hear you, I’m waiting for this Coronavirus to be over too so I can get some stuff done on my truck. I’m not saying that you should do the cutting on your truck but that’s what a shop can do for you. You can run like 35X10 with wheels that have a positive offset on a 3” lift without cutting .

    Right. If I were to cut my fenders I'd want bushwacker fender flares and a nice color matched fab force bumper or similar.
