Thinking of a body lift+ lift

I was thinking of doing a body lift. As of now my rig is bone stock. 1999 4Runner 4wd 5speed sittin on 225/75/15's. I have some new tires/ rims to install, they are 16x8 ivan stewart rims with 285/75/16 bridgestone duellers. I am in the middle of buying the sonoran steel #7 lift to go along with this. Question is is a body lift really necessary so the tires wont rub? or is it better to trim the pinch welds of do ya have to do both? Also on the body lift will I need to make modifications to the fan shroud what all is involved? one more thing I promise: the stock gears in my ride I believe are 3:91's will this be a major NO NO or not I know the clutch will suffer ie. shorter life but are the stock 3:91's too tall

IMO - if you do decide to do a BL , go with 2 inches rather than 1inch. But if you look at my ride, I like em tall

4crawler makes the best one IMO. I took my fan shroud off...with NO ill effects. 4Crawlers web site will give you the instructions/modifications you need.

Performance accessories also makes a nice kit. Go with the three inch. All that annoying shifter and gas tank filler neck extensions, go with the three inch, you won't regret it.
