96Tacoma4x4

I'm thinking about getting a 2.5"-3" lift for my 96 taco, but I need to clear up a few things. Now, there are different lift options like add-a-leafs in the back, or longer shackles, or block and u-bolt. I already have stiffer leafs in the rear because the owner before had a sit-on camper, so that might change things, and I still do tow and haul things so I still need it to be stiffer in the rear. I've been looking at Toytec lifts and wheelersoffroad.com, but I'm not sure what I should do, I also don't want to spend a fortune. I'am also thinking possibly about doing a 1"-2" body lift so I could put 33's on, but I'm not a fan of body lifts. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Dont go blocks.
Yota's suffer from axle wrap and blocks only multiply it.

Sounds like you might have to get some custom leaves made.
Try alcan or deaver for that.

Dont go spacers for the front unless the harshest terrain your truck will see is the mall.

You can fit 33's with 2-2.5" of lift with very minimal rubbing.
I have 33 10.5's and all I had to do for the front was trim some of the front inner fender lining..
I get flexy all the time and never have any problems with much.
Go more the 10.5 and your going to rub on the frame a bunch. Unless you have wheels with less then stock backspacing or wheel spacers.
I never recommend the latter though
