    Default 5100's and Terras installed! questions now?

    Recently had the 5100's installed at the highest setting! And yesterday had the Terra Grapplers put on my factory 18" wheels. Tires are 295/70/18. I had heard alot of talk about the potential for rubbing. The shop that installed tires said they bent skid plate up so there should be no rubbing. Well today I took her out for first real drive. On a FULL turn only, I heard tires rubbing. Is it safe to assume plate needs more tweaking? or is there a chance its rubbing on inner fender? I cant fart around to much with it right now cause the weather is crap here. Just curious if the others that have done this seemingly popular mod. have input? Also, how do I go about getting speedo calibrated to new tires? Its seems to be 3-5mph off at highway speeds as compared to my gps. Thanks for any help. I'd love to post pics but am cluless on how to. The whole look of the truck has changed. The shop that put tires on said it was the toughest looking Tundra they've had in the shop. Think I want to put an inch block in back to get it a little higher, not sure yet, want to see how it looks with boat attached and see if it drops much.

    could need more tweaking or just rubbing on the wheel fairing ( the little plastic piece mounted in front of the front tires,you can easily remove them,lifted mine with a 3 and 1 and put 305/55/20 and had to remove the fairings,no big deal though.To post pics go to your profile/garage section and follow the directions for posting the pics.You first have to download the pics from your camera to youor computer then form the computer to TS.If I can figure it out anyone can,trust me.

    Turn them all the way and see where they rub to know where to modify.
    Factory 18 are 60 plus offset, meaning pulled deep in wheel well. Hope you aren't getting UCA rub and only little mud flap.

    I never got mine calibrated and am 3 mph slower in reality with the 5100 at full lift and I have 275/65 18 stock tire, but my stock suv is the samewhen measured with one of those stationary speed monitors they put on the road for you to see how fast you are going. I tried 2 different kinds and both vehicles were 2-3 mph slower then what I read on my speedometer.

    Might want to consider/research putting air bags on the rear. A little more $'s than blocks, but you'll be able to level the truck whether you are loaded/unloaded.
