No its not needed with the right offset. barring you leave the sway bar hooked up. It jumps just fine, no rubbing anywhere

Its OE sport wheels so +44 with a 1in BORA spacer. so about +19mm of offset total. +30 to +20 is that sweet spot. This was a cheap and dirty close enough and it worked out. I rattle canned the wheels white. they were silver

edit: you'll need highline fenders to pull this off if you don't have a rubi or mojave. rubi high line fenders sit about 2in higher than standard fenders

edit 2: I have the widetrack axles as well. so if you have the standard axles, 0 offset may be needed to reach the same fitment.

I do be enjoying that nature lol. Uhh its my old winch i had on my yota. I got it cus it was the only one i could fit in the bumper cavity on my old truck. its a Ironman4x4 12k synthetic. works better than i thought it would. got it on sale for 300 bucks. I'd like a sherpa or badlands tho tbh. I'll get one of them when i upgrade my bumper again.

For that price, I would get them powder coated and you would still be winning! And no apologies needed. Again I love the look!
