Toy tech Boss Question?

[Teamoatmealpie]

Guys need some help here -
Have 03 Sr5 V8 TRD Supercharged. About to pull trigger on Toytech Boss set up- my goal is 285/70/17 on stock wheels. This is not my daily driver so I am ok chopping / cutting.
My questions are-
1. Will I need body mount chop?
2. Shop says I can get away with no UCA- however I am not convinced of is.
3. Also is a body lift recommended ?
4. Will wheel spacers be needed?

Hoping to gain friends from others experience.
Thank you

********Tire size Fitment**************************

Thanks to gaterose for providing the following information.
What does it take to fit x tire with x lift?
Front/Rear Lift Tire Size
Stock -
265/65R17
265/70R17* (except BFG A/T)

1/0
265/70R17* (31.6x10.4)
255/75R17 (32 x 10)

2/1
265/70R17
255/75R17

3/2
275/70R17 (32.2 x 10.8)
285/70R17† (32.6 x 11.2)
255/80R17* (33 x 10)

3/2 + 1-1.5" Body Lift
255/85R17† (34 x 10)
285/70R17†
305/65R17† (32.6 x 12)

* requires removal of mud flaps and probably minor trimming
† requires trimming and may require body mount chop (click here for details on body mount chop), upper control arms, and/or increased backspacing.

Add 5 to the middle number for 16" wheels, subtract 5 for 18" wheels (265/75R16=265/70R17=265/65R18)

1. I chopped mine before I put 285's on, just incase I needed it.
2. I got away with stock UCA's for awhile, I did notice a better ride once I put different UCA's on
3. Nah, your fine without
4. Depends on which tires. I would suggest them. Looks better

You may or may not need a body mount chop but have your cutoff wheel ready. I've never rubbed my body mount but have only driven in the city thus far. My 285 duratracs rubbed my spindle with stock rims so I needed wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with more spacing.

You must be a baller with the supercharger already- just get the UCAs.

The BL might make for less trimming, if you like the extra height but you definitely don't need it with 33s.

Thanks guys- that's what I wanted to know.
As prefer not to do it in stages - rather chop when I have things apart- and add the UCA and get only 1 alignment versus 2.

Had this rig since new and the supercharger was the whole reason I got it in the first place. Have 16 SR 5 as the new DD- must say the new is disappointing from an acceleration stand point - hoping sprint booster will change the poor pedal to acceleration stand point.

Will post up when done

Shame you aren't in Tucson, I'm selling my toytec boss lift and light racing upper control arms. Decided I needed 1 ton axles
