I believe it is one or the other. I have stock UCA's, and wheel spacers.

Im only running the 1/4" pep boy spacers on the front. If I had aftermarket ucas I wouldnt need them.
But then again I have 3.75" back spaced wheels
And I do rub the frame really bad at full lock. Its great because now i cant turn to full lock and with the front locker i dont need to be there anyways.
I have what is probably a stupid question. If I wanted to run 35's do I really need to re-gear to 4.88's? A frend of mine said it costs about $1000-1500 to re-gear and said to stick with 33's then I dont have to worry. Honestly what will happen if I were to run 35's with stock gearing on my 3rd gen.

I mean you don't HAVE to but you really should. You will have no gas mileage and no power. I ran my 4runner on 35's and stock gears for about a week until I could change to 4.88's.
There's a reason most stick with 33's until they can regear.
Is it really that expensive to get them though? Where would I find some and what are the going rates? was my buddy right when he said $1000-$1500. I realized that if I go the 35's route then I MUST get gears as I plan on a future TDI swap and those are a bit underpowered for this truck.

you could go through east coast gear supply and get an assembled rear 3rd.. not that pricey. Definitely not in the 1000 range

You'd have to get a front as well:
Tacoma 7.5 Reverse Clamshell 3rd Member Assembly
That puts the total at about 1200 without shipping. That's just gears, no lockers.

I've got a local buddy who will install the gears for $150 per axel. Check around and with the local fab shops and 4wd shops(not 4wheelparts).

Well the 315's were short lived, I bought them used but with low miles and they cleaned up beautifully. The tires had been sitting but didn't look to have been affected. Had them installed and the balance was bad, had them balanced again, balance was still bad, 3rd times the charm... and a phone call stating one of the tires was starting to seperate in the tread and the other may soon follow. Dang I though I just covered almost 500 miles with those I'm glad nothing happened, oh execpt on a 156 mile return trip home with crappy unbalanced tires my alternator decided to give out and keep me from putting any more miles on the tires (Divine intervention? you be the judge). I called around and found a set of 295's (previous size for 2 sets totalling just over 100K) $986 installed through a Goodyear Dealer.

Saw those and do like them, the KM2's are becoming cheaper, the Interco SSR in the 285 size (33.9" diameter) would fit the bill and might last longer than the Irok. Hankook has an interesting MT, the Cooper STT has always been a favorite and has more favorable siping than the Toyo MT.
I keep hearing nothing but good things regarding those Hankook Mt's and even being somewhat better than KM2's depending on your use from a lot of guys on TTORA. What do you guys think about the TRXUS mt's. They seem a bit more tame than the radial irok but still aggressive

I've heard of good reviews from the hankook mt's, but not necessary built for what I do. That and I absolutely dislike the style of the pattern and sidewall. The trxus mt is a badass tir3 with good on road manners. The irok radials being right behind them, mainly cus the on road manner.

I'm not very happy with the 315 Cooper STTs I had. They did very good in the snow, but the compound is too soft for 4wheeling IMO. I chunked the lugs every single time my truck went on the dirt. I felt more sure-footed with my 255 Bighorns when they had 50% tread on them than I did with brand new STTs. Also the 315 STTs run a lot smaller than I thought they would - about 34" with the weight of my truck on them.
I decided get the Goodyear MT/Rs w/ kevlar in 315 and they are a true 35" tire. The STTs still have 90-95% tread left (apart from some torn lugs) so I figured I would sell them while I can still get decent money for them. I'm not hating on them, but since someone suggested the STTs, I thought I'd give my experience with them. The MT/Rs are friggin awesome! And I got them for $1100 shipped from discounttiredirect.com (after a couple rebates).
