Some don't. One of my SJs did as the springs were tired.

I'm running 255 60 r15's at the moment and they clear by half inch on the bumper mount and an inch and half on the bulk head seam..

Would like to put 70 profile on the zuk, flattening the bulkhead seam and chopping the corner off the bumper mount should be enough clearence shouldn't it?
