Need some help deciding on a lift...

Ok I have searched here, Googled and I think I finally have a grasp on the types of lifts that are available. I measured center hub to fender all around and its 1" taller in the read. So it seems like my choices are spacers, 5100's or a combo of coils/shocks. For the rear I will be going with the AAL regardless of what I go with the front. Correct me if I am wrong, but this will add a little bit more of carrying weight in the rear, and if I go with a long AAL it will keep the stock ride in the rear? I will couple that with 5100's in the rear.

Now to the front. I was initially going to go with stock coils in the front and then 5100 adjustables. If I max this out at 2.5" I can get away with NOT doing the UCA's and I should still be in the clear on alignments. But I have read that If I max them out at 2.5" then there is only 1" of down travel...what does that mean? Exactly as it sounds? My truck will only go down in the front 1"?

My other option is to roll with OME 885 springs, 5100's set at 0" and this will bring me up 2.5" in the front and maintain a close to stock feel but with 2.5" of lift. I will then go with the 2" rear AAL and this should set me up 0.5" in the rear which is ok.

I don't off road, maybe once a month and its light, light trails. I am mainly doing this for hunting season and having the extra ground clearance to run a good all terrain for my hunting lease. I am looking at a 265 tire.

Looking for any advice, suggestions, "nope that isn't going to work" comments....

 

What size tire do you plan on running?

In order to really avoid UCAs you would need to stay under about 2.25" of lift up front. Best bet would be the OME 885 coils up front, Bilsteins F & R, and our 3 Leaf AAL set out back. This would be roughly a 2.25" lift, with the rear a little higher than the front. The suspension will ride and perform very well for your needs.

 

Sounds good. BUT what if I wanted more of a lift...say in the 2.5"-3.0" range? I was googling the hell out of your website and the LR UCAs seem to fit the bill to correct any alignment issues past the 2.00"-2.25"-2.50" range. I found a killer deal on the LR UCA and the 5100's, that I think I am going to drop the coin on. This will leave me left to purchase coils and the AAL for the rear. Should I still go with the 885s and preset the 5100's to 0.85? Or should I go with the 886s and leave it at 0.0?

*Edit* I will not have any heavy duty bumper on the front. Will purchase a small bull bar though.

I don't really know what size tire to go with. I purchased new wheels and they are 16x8's with -6 backspacing. What is a good recommendation on the tire size? I figure atleast a 265/75/16 would fit nice with ZERO rubbing issues.

 

Here is what I ended up ordering:
Eibach 620 Springs
5100's all the way around
LR UCA's
Toytec Add A Leaf

Anything I may need?

 

I am been googling and searching all day, but it looks like I *may* need the top spacers....the Eibach coils are 1.6, then the 5100's will be set at .85. Thats 2.45". My current measurements are 20" for the front and 21" for the rear. So the front will be brought up to 22.45" and with the add a leaf (1.5"-2.0") will bring the rear up to 22.50 - 23.00. I want it as level as possible, but will .5" be enough to notice? Also, do I need the Tacoma lean spacer?
