    I dunno man, I wouldn't raise the front any more. Anything over 3" and you can start running into issues wearing things out. If you're having clearance issues with the tires, it may be due to backspacing on the wheels, not the lift. Lots of folks running less than 3" lifts that are clearing 285s without issues on here. Do you have stock wheels? If so, are you running wheel spacers?

    I have stealth custom series wheels. I did an alignment yesterday and adjusted my caster from +2.0 to +2.9 and that seemed to help with the rubbing a little bit (moved the lower ball joint forward, in turn moved the wheel forward)

    Lift isn't your issue, it's wheel backspacing. Adding lift will just make your front end parts wear out faster. I'd look into to some wheel spacers.

    I have OME suspension just installed.. I took off my sway bar but i'm also lower on driver side than passenger ( 885x, trim packer, 90000 front shocks, sport rear shocks and dakars and 13mm top plate spacer) I have not got my alignment yet but was wondering could the alignment and sway bar be a factor in the taco lean I have.. I assumed the trim packer would have fix it.. the passenger rear is taller than driver side.

    Then it doesn't matter

    2nd gen Dakars aren't side specific , but if you get a mixed set , it's prudent to put the higher spec pack on the driver's side
