    Hello I have been searching Tacoma world for an answer to my question but I cannot find one. My current set up is Bilstein 5100's with OME 884 coils and a 2 inch aal. I am getting 2 inchs of lift up front but my rear lift has sagged. Ik stacking lifts isn't usually a good idea but if I buy light racing ucas, a 2 inch non preloading spacer, and a 2 inch block for the rear would I need anything else? In theory I think that it should work and I will receive 4 inchs of lift. But my question is would I also need to buy extended break lines, new bump stops, and a differential drop kit? I am looking to be able to run 255/85r16 km2's without rubbing so I need more lift. If anyone has done a similar setup before or you have experience with lifting and you can answer my questions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

    You need to visit the 255/85/16 owners thread http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/155849-255-85-r16-owners-experience.html#post3143870 Read the thread and if you have any additional questions you would be best asking there. Always best to ask in a already established thread then start a new one. Many of the questions you seek answers to have been dealt with many times over already.

    No lift is required to run those sized tires with proper wheels and proper alignment specifications.

    I currently run those tires with about 0-1" of lift. The whole purpose of running pizza cutters IMO is to gain clearance with little to no modifications. While guys who run 285's have to do extensive mods people using 255's get more clearance and do WAY less.

    Typical lifts also have nothing to do nor help increase the size of the tire you can fit.
