Help build my 03 access cab

So I have a 2003 tundra ac 4.7 stock everything and am looking to fit 315/75/16 or 315/70/17 I am planning on getting JBA uca and bilstein 5100s with 2887 OME springs as well as a 1.5 in aal in rear will this fit the tires I know I will need spacers I just want to know how bad it will rub.

 

35’s won’t fit, look into running 285’s.

 

You’ll need gears too in addition to the not fitting.

 

Okay I ended up going 2885s 285/75r16 no aal JBA UCA on some mr315s thanks man

 

You may find you sit high in the front w/2885 on access cab, even with the added weight of 4WD. 2887 would've been laughably so, good thing you didn't go there.

Throw a couple hundo miles on the new suspension, give it time to settle out before making changes. Measure center up hub to edge of wheel well before/after on all four wheels before lifting so you have a baseline.

You can always AAL later if you find things aren't sitting how you want.

 

Post up pics when it's done!

 

You'll need new CV shafts too. Even if you are planning on a small diff drop, your stock CV's will not last.

 

I would love to see your evidence on this statement!

 

Beat me to it

 

lol that’s funny the stock CVs will last

 

I put a leveler (2.5 front, 1.5 rear) on mine after 22 years and 170,000 miles. The inner CV boots ended up tearing and puking the grease everywhere. Both sides. It ended up being the same price/headache to just replace them both with longer CV's.

lol I am not trolling you guys. It happened to me, and it made me really really unhappy.

I went with the NAPA heavy duties. I hope OP has slightly better luck than me, because I was exceedingly displeased.

 

So the boots failed, not the cv “shaft”? There’s a big difference. Boots are rubber and do have a lifespan. A cv axle will last longer than the vehicle. Boots don’t normally tear, they slide off their perch due to old clamps and eject grease. Your boots were most likely compromised before you added the spacers.

Hold on, you put “longer” cvs in? How is that possible? Total chaos LT axles?

 

The Napa HD are supposed to have more “reach” or extension to them, but they are the same length as factory. When lifting the front end, the factory boots need better clamps or they will pull away and sling grease. No one needs a diff drop, they do more harm than good.

 

So not only are they from Crapa but they’re weaker due to a slip yoke? I’ll stick with oem, hasn’t let me down in 5 years.

 

NAPA HD's are what I used. The site said they would be a little better for mildly lifted trucks, so I picked them up. After 22 years, my CV boots were just weathered... I figured OP may be in the same situation since his truck is about the same age.

The clamps actually held up okay, the boots split when I articulated the suspension. They both split at the same time, or about, and tossed grease everywhere underneath.

I *might* have a picture, I'll post it.

 

No slip yoke, I was talking about the cv's up front.
