    Can you fit 305/70/17 tires on a 3" lift in the rear and a 5" in the front??? BTW its on a 2009 double cab.

    I'm pretty sure theres people on here with that size. I believe it requires some pretty gnarly trimming though. (body mounts).

    Well that would be a drop bracket lift which will put your tires 5" lower at full stuff so yes it will fit.

    2" add-a-leafs with a 1" block in the rear, then 3" spacers with 2.5" bilstein shock so 5.5" to give it that sqquat look

    That's what I was worried you were going to say when I saw you were planning 5" of lift.

    You absolutely cannot stack lifts like that. The billy's will have no more down travel left.

    OP:If you really want the bro-lean/ass-sag look, just go with 3" up front and keep the rear stock. That won't cause you any problems.

    Or if you have lots of cash, go with a 6" drop bracket in the front and 3" in the rear, or something like that.

    Funny, when I noticed that my rear was sagging I thought it meant that my rear springs were shot, I didn't realize it was the new cool look.

    Get some strap steel and make some 7" long shackles, use them with some blocks made from uni-strut, you's be all set!
