After some research...did I come close? tires and 6112/5160

Hello tacoma world I am a new member and a first time 2nd gen tacoma owner. Little about myself, I have always loved Toyota for their reliability, I once had a 2000 toyota 4runner limited, 2.5 inch daystar spacer kit. with 265/75/16. the lift installation was a gift. Now I would like a real suspension lift for the tacoma.

Tacoma Build: I would like to run 265/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac tires on stock 17" wheels. I understand I don't need a lift to run this size tire on the Tacoma but I am looking to raise the front 6112 to 1.75 or notch 3 and to my understanding by raising the front to that level, the truck should level out. maybe I should just do an AAL ? Im hoping to do a subtle lift on this truck and looking into 2" all around or at least level.
I will be doing the ECGS bushing
I will be doing the Diff drop
Is a swaybar drop necessary? I have read it is not and some people get rid of it.

help a noob out and let me know what you think. Cheers

 

Oh my what a beautiful 4runner! - how is the interior?

 

Thanks!! Well, when I had it, was tan leather interior. very comfortable but I ruined it in the drivers seat. ill post some more photos in my media page. I wanted to post a photo to show the subtleness I'm looking for. i understand it is a different vehicle. but i would like to achieve something like this for the tacoma.

nothing wrong with having a 4runner on a tacoma page.

This is the one I used to have:

Skip the dif drop, it is just snake oil. Sway bar drop shouldn't be needed.

If your leafs are sagging you might need the AAL otherwise with a minor lift you are probably fine without them.
