    2012 4R Limited. When I took measurements from the fender well to the center of the hub there is a 2" difference on driver's side from the rear & a 2&1/4" difference front passenger side from the rear. (Front rake).
    The vehicle is currently sitting on it's O.E.M X-Reas system suspension which is soon to be gutted like a fish.

    I just got the new suspension that I'm going to have a shop install, Bilstein coilovers adjustable 6112 & 5160 for the rear next to the OEM springs.

    In the mean time I have FN Pro wheels coming, 17"X8". Wanting to wrap them in 275 Wildpeak At's.

    Sooooo see if I'm understanding this correctly. If I have the shop install the 6112's at the 2" perch that will lift the front but basically level the vehicle. Which means if I load up the rear cargo with a couple hundred pounds, I'll end up with a lifted nose or rear rake.

    If I set the perch to only 1.6" then I should have some front rake & upon loading up the rear I should be close to level. ( I think)..BUT if I only go with the 1.6 perch will I be able to wrap that wheel with a 275 or will I have to downsize?? OR will I have do some rubbing fixes?

    Appreciate some advice.

    If you want to still retain some factory rake while carrying weight in the back, you'll probably want to set the front to the 0.8" setting.

    If you want a level stance without carrying any weight in the back, then go with the 1.6" setting in front.

    With a proper alignment and the stock wheel backspacing and offset, you shouldn't have significant rubbing with 275's. You might need to trim the fender flair a bit, but that's extremely easy.
