Effective gearing change. I wouldn't do 34s with 3.73 gears, 35s would be horrible.

Yeah I think anything over 33" is sort of a can of worms. Gearing certainly being a big expensive part of that.
Thanks everyone!
I went to a different shop this morning and they also confirmed that what I was saying was correct (and you are all saying) and they did the alignment properly. Now I have zero rub at any time.
Final numbers - for those interested.
Caster: 5 3/32* | 5 7/16*
Camber: -5/32* | -5/32*
Also stopped back at the original shop and told them about it and asked for a refund. The refunded me but still said they don't think it's right - they think the caster needs to be reduced. Needless to say, I won't be going back.

So just to get this clear, you can run 285s, JBA UCAs (high caster), lifted around 3"F/2.5"R, TRD OR wheels, 1.5" wheel spacers and NOT have to do a BMC??
I'm in a similar situation:
Wilkpeak P285/70R17, JBA UCAs, FOX 2.5/2.0 shocks lifted around 2.5"F/1.5"R, TRD OR wheels.
I haven't thrown the new shocks/UCAs on yet but I'm on a spacer lift with the lift I am happy with (Daystar 2.5/1.5)
I will start installing as soon as my UCAs come in but from all the reading I've done it seems the 285s will rub the UCAs so I'm contemplating getting the wheels spacers as well but don't want to have to do a BMC just yet.
I'm also open to running shorter wheel spacers just to clear 3/4" or 1" if it'll help not rubbing and I'm sure the TRD OR wheels have reliefs for the studs, just too lazy to pull a wheel off lol.
