for bfg a/t it will cost you about $600 for all if you are planning on running stock wheel/tire size.
but i would suggest you spend the 100 bucks more and get a set of 4 of the new goodyear mt/rs. My Mt/rs are a good all around tire and the new version looks even better. they have a tighter inner lug and a fatter outer lug so they will do better all around on and off road. plus they are kevlar reinforced, why would you not want that.

Check out the link that i posted with those pictures. I can try to get measurements for you, but i have a lot going on right now and i may not be able to get to them for a little bit.

IFS with 35s? Well, my IFS didnt even like my 33s. They beat all of the steering components up and the front end does require regular maintenance. I wish i would have used all the money ive spent on my IFS to do an SAS that sits just as low as it is now.

I am also wondering, with using 63 springs in the rear can you then use your original rear springs in the front of a solid axle yota ? If so do you need to move the front hangers? What needs to be done with the steering? Do you have to put in a hysteer kit ?

SAS lift question

I am wanting to do a 5" trail gear front with chevy 63" springs in the rear. How big of a shackle will i need i the rear to compensate for the sag of my 4runner? Eventually I am going to do a tire rack on the rear and a roof rack so I want to compensate for that as well. Any input would be appreciated!

My buddy did 33s on his 91 pickup. He cut his fenders an inch or two, and regeared to 4.88s with no problems on IFS. I am working on doing my SAS now because I know in the future I will choose to do it anyway.. Why do the work twice? Good luck to you!

5" tg spring are very tall. Combined with a SAS its probably around 8 inches of total lift. The chevy springs are only going to give you about 3 inches.
