    I'll (hopefully) be getting a camper soon which will make me sag so I'll have to raise it up in the rear.

    It'll still rub going over speed bumps , into driveways, turning, etc...

    He could fit them stock with some hammering and or cutting. He'd need to do the same lifted anyways.

    OP, if you want 285s go for it and just do some trimming/ chopping/ smashing. Lots of threads around to show you what you'll need to do.

    As far as a lift I'd wait until you can get something decent. No use in spending money now only to realize 6 months from now it's not what you wanted and wished you had waited. I know it's hard but wait and save if you do want to lift. You'll be better off in the long run and glad you did.

    Think I'm going to go with what 3coma said and just get bilsteins in the front and aal for now. Works with my budget plus i have a 1 in front spacer i can add for now till i can get new coils. Thanks guys, much appreciated!

    I believe bilstein recommends not using any type of top spacer.​
    Rims are 16x8s I believe 4.5bs or right around there. I bought them used. Tires are 285/70r16.

    Billies/AAL all damn day. That'll fit your budget and avoid "The Spacer Mistake" that a lot of budget-restricted ToyotaBros make.

    No. You can adjust ride height with the Bilstein shocks in the front anyways

    Im aware of that, but isnt the max is like 2.5" (correct me if im wrong), im just trying to be able to clear my tires that are on the way which are 285 75 16s. I dont mind trimming and what not but im just worried that about my clearence.

    2.5" Will clear a lot of people use that set up. There's nothing physically stopping you from using the spacer as long as you have enough threads for the top nuts. It's just not recommended.

    Lifting has nothing to do with tire clearance.
