With a Trailmaster 1.5" or Daystar (or other brand) 2" leveling kit, you can fit:

  • 265/75/16, and also maybe 285/75/16
  • 265/70/17, and also maybe 285/70/17
  • 265/65/18
  • 285/50/20
And that will require a small amount of trimming of the wheel well liners and splash guards on the front tires only. The tires will fit the rear without any lift or cutting at all.

Here is a pic with the TM 1.5" leveling kit and 285/50/20 tires.

So with the leveling kit we can 33x12 no problem. Can we go bigger or wider with the body lift or is the body lift a waste of money? I have a TRX4 2010 and wonder what trimming I will need to do with the flares to fit the tires?
