Couple of questions about my used FJ's (2008) wheel/tire combo

Hey all,

Relatively new here and had some questions about the wheels/tires combo on my rig. Right now they are Cooper Discoverer STT m+s 33x12.5r17LT. Looking at the wheel well I do see theres been a body mount chop but appears to be stock upper arm (have about a 1/2" of clearance) and revtec spacers.

Really it feels like the previous owner just wanted a slightly beefed up version for looks without practicality in mind based on some of the initial mods. I welcome any tips, comments or suggestions as I'll probably be looking for a new set of tires in the near future. This being my first 4x4 I just want to be sure I'm headed down the right path.

yea definitely stock UCAs and it does seem to be rubbing a lot on your body mount plus just a spacer lift for the clearance of the tires. best thing to do is wheel with what you have to see what you need to upgrade/replace. hope to see you out on the trail or at a meet n greet sometime.
