Smile 33/12.50 tires with what suspension?

1993 4Runner 3.0 5-speed

1 - I'm really sorry to post this thread but I have come up short with info. I see lots of people running the OME lifts with ball-joint spacers with 33/10.50 tires but I am wondering about the 12.50? And if possible with what rim backspacing. Does this setup require the torsion bars to be cranked and if so does it change the handling significantly?
2 - My other option I have found is to do a drop bracket lift which is more expensive.
3- I will be doing only mild wheeling (camping, hunting, fishing) so another possible option is a body lift. However, I had a body lift on my last truck and didn't like the ride with change in COG.
4 - Please don't tell me to consider 33/10.50's because I already have a brand new set of 33/12.50's that I got for a great price.

Again, Please accept my apologies for this thread but I just want to be sure about what I want and need before I go and spend my hard-earned money foolishly.

Some low cost "recipes" on this web page:

Included on the page are rim backspacing/size info, etc.

With bj spacers, and a 2in body lift with a matching lift in the rear you can run the 12.5s, but you dont want a body lift, so my guess is either buck up for the bracket lift or crank the tbars, which will give you a harsh ride.

For only mild wheeling, camping etc.. you will be fine with the bj spacers and not cranking your tbars. Make sure you get rims that are 3.75" backspacing and you will have very minimal rubbing.
