You'll be fine. I put my front Billies on last night set at 1.75. I have a DC OR 4x4 and with the 3 leaf rear my truck is pretty much level. I'm .25 nose high on the front right, but i wouldn't have noticed without measuring. I'll post some pictures once I get the rear billies on.

All measurements are ground to the center of the fender.

Before: FR 35. FL 34.75 RR 36.5 RL 36.5
After: FR 36.75 FL 36.5. RR 36.5 RL 36.5

You're before numbers frustrate me. It's the reason I want a lift. I see other stock Tacomas on the road and they are noticably higher than mine...it bothers me. Here are my before numbers:

FR 34.5 FL 33.9 RR 36 RL 35.9

I will install the fronts during the 4th and probably the rears over the weekend. We'll see how it turns out.

Generally, yes. Measure from the hub to the fender on the front and back and if the difference between the two measurements is 1.75"+, then setting 5100's at 1.75 will level you out or close to it. If your leaf pack as sagged over the years, and the difference between the front and back is less than 1.75", then it might put you nose high.

The largest tire is too vague. The 265/70R17 is a popular sized tire for 2nd gens to avoid rubbing. It's a good combination of width and height. You can go taller though if you go skinnier. If you mean largest as in overall height, 265/70R17 is not the tallest you can get away with.

Now that I'm close to installing the lift, I'm thinking about tires. It seems the two most popular sizes are 265/75R16 or 265/70R17. Can a 1.75" lift in the front fit a 265/75R17 without rubbing?

I'm not sure you can even find tires in that size, that's a very odd tire size. I think if you want to go taller, I believe you'll be looking at a 255 series tire.
