Muddpigg, thanks for the input. Hopefully it will give anyone looking at this thread down the road the info they need to make the best decision for themselves.
kodiak90, my understanding is that the issue arises with 31 inch and smaller tires as that moves the sidewall bulge closer and closer to the upper control arm. If your 11.50s are also 32s you will likely be fine. Otherwise, it would be best to check it out ahead if possible.

Blnkblu, thanks for the input (I use Gain laundry soap :'). This thread has had some great feedback. Your link to that other thread, with SOCAL4RUNNING was exactly the setup I'll likely go for. Stock front with 2 inch Downey springs in the rear. That setup seemed to level everything out really well. Your 3 inch rear and 1 inch BL was also very sharp. Both look good. I probably also do my shocks this fall which, as it is now, basically don't even exist in the 4runner. I think that there are stock from 20 years ago. Ugh. Anyway, if I do go with the Downey's I think, IIRC, I have to keep my overload leaf. Now that I've decided on what I want, I'll have to read up on proper install procedures and any hardware that I can either (a)reuse or (b) have to buy new (which isn't included).

BLKNBLU; Yeah, my tires are 32's on the stock SR5 wheels. I just wasn't sure if an extra inch of width on the tire would make much difference (given the tallness of the tire). It makes sense though that a taller tire would fit fine. Just wanted to make sure. Thanx!
