I’m running the toytec aluma boss 2.0 coil overs in the front set at the standard height they come and SPC adjustable UCAs up front and OME891 with billies in the rear (they were on the truck when I bought it)..so my question is if I decide to run 285/75/16 from all I can tell is the punch weld may need to take a beating with a BFH but I wanted to get some opinions before I pull the trigger!
Once again sorry for beating a dead horse but just need a little clarity from the T4R Gods!

Hey man, I think I’ve got some good input for you!
I actually just put 285/75/R16 BFG KO2 tires on stock 5spoke rims on my 1999 4R with the Toytec AlumaBoss coil overs and SPC arms! I originally had quite a bit of problems because the alignment shop wouldn’t listen. Long story short, I came back 4 times for alignments and dumped a lot of money on making them fit correctly:
I’m sure you’ve read about how to move the tire forward in the wheel well with the OE adjusters. If you do this yourself (maybe outside of the alignment shop so you don’t have to drive it very far as it will mess up your tow) and then tell them to ONLY touch the upper control arm to adjust the Castor and camber, you should be able to move the tire forward enough that you don’t have any frame rubbing. I can send you a pic that Tom at SPC Customer Service sent me.
I had to firmly explain what to do to the alignment shop as they clearly didn’t understand how to work the SPC arms. I called Tom from SPC customer service (he personally owns a 1999 T4R) Tom from SPC was beyond helpful & talked on the phone with the shop and told them exactly what to do with the alignment specs they had. Now, there is plenty of frame clearance!! The only issue I had left was that when the suspension would travel down (off road), the upper SPC control arm would droop and touch the side of the tire. I reluctantly put some spidertraxx on and that issue is completely solved. No rubbing and I actually really enjoy the spacers now. (And yes I had to trim the front bumper plastic a little- easy!)
Hope this helps and PM me if you want some pics/have any specific questions. (Can’t seem to post pics on this forum- I’m new to replying LOL)
