    Hey everyone, I am pretty new here and have only made a few posts. I have been reading and researching for a long time now on tacoma world looking for what lift I want to go with. Finally decided that I am going to pull the trigger on this bad boy:

    The eibach / bilstein lift with AAL in the back.

    I drive a 2002 Double Cab 4x4 that is currently completely stock. I am definitely going with this lift because my birthday is coming up and my parents said they would give me some funding towards it! Hoorah!

    So that being said, I am not mechanically inclined at all. I can change headlights, tires, etc and do basic things like that, but I have never installed shocks, coils and an AAL and a diff drop. My dad is going to help me through it, but would anyone be willing to help me with it? I am located in Northern California, I am willing to drive anywhere in the northern region to get this thing installed!

    Okay, enough with that. Next I want to buy 285/75/16 tires. I have a few questions if anyone could help. I know I will have to trim a bit to fit them, which is fine by me. I was wondering what wheels should I go with? I have no clue in hell what backspacing they should be or if I need wheel spacers, etc. I am clueless. Can anyone tell me what I need for the wheels and my tires to fit? I am most likely going with BFG AT KO's but other suggestions are appreciated.

    SO basically, who can help with my lift install?, what do I have to do once I have the lift installed in terms of fitting 33 inch tires on there: What wheels, backspacing, wheel spacers (if any), etc.

    Any help is really appreciated guys.

    Does any 16 inch wheel with 4.5 backspacing for 285/75/16 BFG AT KO's work with a 3 inch lift? Is that all I need? no wheel spacers? Sorry I am new to this.
