Hey all! I'm pretty active in the Tacoma community but just purchased a 2007 Sequoia that will be my wife's DD. And then my DD in a year or so. Going a little more budget conscious, compared to the Tacoma, and just ordered a Dobinson's lift kit with the GS59-687 rear shocks. The shocks are original are definitely need replacement. Torn between 255/80R17's and 285/70R17's. My buddy has a used set of 255's and I know they'll clear the stock UCA.

Soooo.... will the 285's clear a Total Chaos UCA without spacers on the stock split spoke 17" wheels? I can get the UCA's reasonably priced. Please let me know!

So far, I love this rig! Should probably leave it alone, but I don't know how to do that...

Don't remember having an issue with my 285s. Only reason I put spacers was I like the look better. Remember to trim the top perch, the TC uca will contact it.

Thanks @Jgrauman ! Really appreciate it.

And thanks for the reminder on trimming the bucket. I saw that issue in @Sal R. ’s build thread. Probably going to pull the trigger and get them, even though I’m leaning towards 255/80R17’s.

If I had to do it over again I would go with 295 70s

So what did you decide on? I had 255s on my 4runner and loved them. I'll probably do that with my 07 as well. Ucas tension to be seen, I'm aiming at a 2" lift.
