I think going the 285 route will be a better deal in the long run, especially getting them from Schwab's...Nice when you blow one 500-1000 miles from home and you can find a Schwab's in almost any town in the PNW..

Looking forward to see the lift and tires installed

Sounds like a good setup Elton. What did you decide on rear shocks?

You will rub on the upper a-arm with the Limited 5-spokes.
You'll need some 1/4"-1/2" spacers to clear them.

I rubbed on the '99 when I lifted it so I went ahead and upgraded to the Lexus wheels.

I think 1/4" would probably clear them but I honestly can't remember how much it rubbed.

That's a different a-arm than the one I had.
I had a '99 so maybe the difference in the suspensions is what screwed me.

Looks like you should be just fine, lucky.

Either way, looks like you should be alright.
Especially running A/T's.
