Need Help new tacoma owner

I recently just bought a 2002 Tacoma that needed new wheels and tires, i bought some 285 70R/17 wheels (yes i know they're bigger than stock by quite a bit) and they of course rubbed, did a pinch weld mod and they don't rub as much at all now but i want to lift it 2.5 inches. I just need help on what to get for the front and rear. Right now im looking at AAL for the rear and then need some guidance for the front. Maybe Shocks and lift springs? some guy i talked to said struts might need to be replaced but im not too sure if its worth the mods now when i could down size tires. preferably if someone could give me exacts to buy that'd be nice as well.
