Default Offset 1 ton TRE
Can I use one offset TRE or do both TRE's need to be offset?

Went OTK and need a bit more clearance on the driver's side...

On just the drivers side knuckle? Sure.

I don't know of a passenger side offset TRE for an inverted T set up with the tie rod taper in it.

What are you doing for rim clearance? Looks like I need more room.

I don't see why you couldn't use just one.

I'll have to get wheel spacers or better offset rims for the offset tre. Not enough space by the looks of it.

If the drivers side wheel gets stuffed my frame side trac bar mount makes contact.

So either get an offset tre or bump stop a ton.

You should be able to see the paint mark on the trac bar mount.

And there isn't much space for an offset tre.

contact spot on the bracket coming from the tie rod right?

That's a tight spot.
