Exclamation help with lifts

i have an 87 yota tht sits on 31s and has the rear end sag. im looking for a lift solution to run 33s or 35s in the future. i dont have the time or money for a SAS or the money for a store bought IFS lift kit. Now ive read about 63in chevy springs to lift ur rear end up but how high? i have a bone stock truck with the 31s being the only thing ive done. and im looking to make my truck level. ive also been reading about bj spacers but i read 35s+bj spacers= bent idler, pitman if you wheel hard, now will it still bend for hard street driving and little to mild off road mudding? i also read that they increase steering angles and with larger tires Tie rod end boots and idler arm bushings don't tend to last. but how long is tht? has any one have a general idea of how long the boots and bushings last. any ideas? keep in mind im a college student whos tight on money. thanks

ive also heard about 14in coil springs to lift the back end, longer rear shackles and blocks between the axle and leaf springs. im just in need of some opinions of what works and what doesnt and if anyone has anything else in mind

33s will fit in the front with no lift. Youll need to pound the pinch weld.
