A modification performed on Toyota Tundra trucks, this procedure involves cutting and reinforcing the body mounts to create additional clearance. The primary purpose is to prevent tire rubbing, especially when larger-than-stock tires are installed, often in conjunction with suspension lifts. This alteration addresses a common issue encountered when increasing the vehicle’s off-road capabilities or aesthetic profile.
Executing this modification can significantly enhance the Tundra’s ability to accommodate larger tires without compromising drivability or causing structural damage from tire-to-body contact. Historically, owners seeking enhanced off-road performance or a more aggressive stance have pursued this type of alteration. It represents a balance between improved functionality and maintaining vehicle integrity.
