I decided to swap out my 285/70/17's for some 35x12.5x17's. Yokohama Geolandar X-A/T. The front crash bar is removed. The rear crash bar is cut. The Westin front bumper adds plenty of clearance. I have ZERO Rubbing at full lock with this setup.

Supporting Mods:
-Eibach Pro Kit, at max height. 3.5" front, leveling blocks in rear.
-Total Chaos upper control arms.
-Black Rhino Roku 17x9.5" wheels.
-SVC Tie Rods (Installing tomorrow)
-Westin Automotive Pro Mod front bumper.

Looks awesome! Welcome to the 35's club.

That front looks like quite a bit more than 3.5" though. Did you measure before and after? I had significant clearancing to do behind the front tire.

I did not measure, but the kit says 3.5" on the highest setting. I am currently on the highest setting. I feel that if I lower it, I will rub.

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
I'll have to look at tire sizes, but I was considering going from 285-70-17 to 285-75-17. So 33" to a 34". Might consider 35's

Those look great. Love it.

Thanks, I would highly suggest just jumping to 35" you will not regret it, if you can clear them.

@dannewps Have you had this fully flexed out at full lock? Curious if there is rubbing when at full articulations and turning
I agree on both points, 1) that looks way higher than 3.5" - I'm sitting at 3.5" with my Icon shocks, 2) rubbing issues often happen at full compression and full lock.

The Icon shocks are 3.5" at their "intended" highest setting, but I could adjust them to probably 5" if I wanted to. The instructions clearly say not to raise them past 3.5" or risk destroying the shock.

It does look good though!

I have not had them at full long while compressed. I have not had any rubbing while full long on flat ground or driveways.

You could be right, but when I had them installed, I asked for the 3.5" setting. PS These will be for sale soon! Moving to Eibach's newest 2.0 coilover system!
