    I'm running 285x75x16 with a 4" BS on wheels.
    Plenty of room between the tire and the spindle gusset. I occasionally rub the core support if I hit a deep whoop or hard landing. The tires eventually self clearance the core support.
    Do the pinchweld mod once you get the body back on and you'll be fine with 285's

    Got my limit straps shortened. Instead of buying new ones, I took them in and had a guy just cut the stitching and re-stitch it 1" shorter.

    [​IMG]

    Now theres a gap between my uniball and collar in my UCA, and theres lots of thread left on the adjuster.
    On another note, I think for wheels I'm going to get the procomp alloys, 16x8, 4" backspacing.

    Do I need to mount the front factory bumpstops on the frame if I'm getting some king bumps?

    No, most cut out the entire bumpstop bracket as you can gain slight uptravel with proper placing of hydro bumps. :cool:

    Interesting... I'll wait a bit on cutting into my frame until I have my bumps, then I'll get more info on what to cut. Thanks for the tip.
    On a side note, toyota replaced the backing plates on my rear axle because I didn't want to fight with pressing them off and on. But... they put the wrong ones on:p I guess theres different styles of brakes on different tundra years because the brake adjustment hole doesnt line up. Derp for toyota.

    Are you bumping off the LCA itself or UCA bolt?

    "Bumpstop bracket" on a first gen is part of the LCA. You drill holes and thread into the factory bump strike area and invert the factory bumps with spacers when installing a LT kit. If you want to get more uptravel you can remove the spacers or swap out bumps with aftermarket like the daystar bumps. I don't think you're going to get any more uptravel by cutting out the bump pads as your UCA uniball will be metal to metal with the misalignment.

    I don't know yet. Which one is better? I was planning off the LCA.


    So I should install them anyway? Then I don't have to get the expensive bumps right away.

    Personally I would only bump off the UCA bolt, but that requires an engine cage and some ingenuity, of which I can't say I have much of either. There's no strike pad and I'm not sure how stout the new boxed LCA is from TC and if it can handle an air bump, so I think you should shoot off a quick email or phone call to TC get an answer from them.

    These are the bumps I'm running, no need for a spacer with these as they are taller than the factory bumps. Fairly certain Matt is running these as well. They come in a two pack so you'd need two for a total of 4 bumps. They are SAE threads so if you run your factory bumps with the spacer now (which are metric), you'll have to re-tap the threads with SAE and load up on red loctite

    But dont do that without a race spindle. I believe someone posted an email they sent to TC in the BS thread and TC said they do not recommend using an air bump on their LCA's

    Camburg FTW :p

    I'll probably just get those poly bumps. You guys are running them and they are cheap, two good things going for them.
