    255/85/16 or 255/80/17 for tire size if you want to fit 33's without much/any trimming (depending on your rims). That's what I have on with the OME Nitrocharger kit with 886 springs (due to extra weight - plate bumper, winch, skid plates). Cost me $1k for the lift kit, delivered. I love it, but I wouldn't get 886 springs unless you are carrying a lot of extra weight up front like I am.

    Do you think I would need new UCAs with all four corners 5100 set at 0 with the 887s and AAL?

    I’d recommend it. Depends on wheel offset and tire size And truck will drive better with better alignment numbers

    Here's what I am learning about my truck. There can be evolving uses and goals. So you start with a lift because it looks cool and you ride hi. You can start with Billies, rims, tires and enjoy your truck with these few changes for as long as you like. One year to forever. However, after you meet your first truck goal and while you're enjoying it you may start itching for other changes based on developing driving inclinations. I mean, maybe you get hooked on a dirt road and are like, shit, moar parts! Then you cross that bridge. I mean, a stock Tacoma is a badass ride (typically). I think the only thing to be concerned about is if you underestimate a goal and have to spend more because you got stage 2 but your heart is at stage 3. My advice: don't do that.
