Lifting 2.7 for 285-70-17 with 5100 struts, etc...

Maybe this has been been gone over multiple times but i can't find too much info on the 2.7 stuff

i currently have 265-70-17 on TRD 4 runner wheels and would like to go up to 285-70-17

would the bilstein 5100's at 1.25" +/- raise get me this? and also thought of doing a small
strut spacer with extended studs?

is this gonna effect the 2.7 in terms of torque? it's a 5-speed

also hear that any type of lift it's recomended to change the needle bearings in the front CV?
would this be needed for such a small lift?

 

Are you planning to gear it?

 

yo fellow utility cab owner , I have the same truck , lets be straight , you didn't buy the 2.7 for speed or power , I myself don't care about doing 90 , so I see your interest in 285 70 17 ,I have a 3 inch low range off road spacer lift with bilstien 5100s set at 0 I run 255 85 16s I also have the auto trans I very rarely drive flat for long and I honestly have no problems I also do have a 100 mile commute daily so to me I couldn't be happier love the truck, so you do no I had a buddies 285 70 17 toyo mts on 17x9 wheels and I did clear them , but im very sure it would hit the cab mount if I wheeled it your going to need 3 inches and some cmc trimming to fit a 285 and wheel it successfully without hitting the cab mount , I will say on my buddies 16 double cab with the full icon stage 4 suspension he was into his cab mount when tuning into parking lots , I drove the same wheel and tire on my truck off of his Tacoma and I didn't hit the cab mount when pulling into the same parking lot , I don't no if its a weight thing between the 2 trucks , if its engines , double cab to my access cab or what but that's my experience hope this was helpfull

 

you have any pics of your truck? and did the spacer lift effect the steering feel?
