How much lift do I need for x tires:
For the IFS Toyota pickups and 4Runners ('86-'95) the following tire/lift combinations apply:
31x10.50-will fit fine, no mods
32x11.50-should fit, may require minor adjustments
33x9.50/10.50-may fit w/ no lift on stock wheels w/ minor fender trimming and torsion bar adjustment
33x12.50-on 15x8/4.75" backspace wheels needs 1" body lift, and front torsion bar lift (1"-2") or 1.5" ball joint spacer and some sort of rear suspension lift (such as longer spring shackles or a coil spring spacer) to level the truck, plus some fender trimming. Here is a picture of this combination showing the minor front fender trimming needed to fit the tires. Conventional wisdom suggests a full 4" IFS lift for this wheel/tire combination, but using a combination of milder lift components will produce the same end result that will function as well if not better than the taller all-in-one lift kit and at less cost. And in case you think this won't work, take a look at this very combination in action in 4x4Wire's Hot Toys write-up on Don West's '94 pickup.
35x12.50 on 15x8 w/ 3.75" backspace wheels needs 4" IFS suspension lift plus 2" body lift for good fit. Many IFS lifts require less backspacing on the wheels to clear the dropped A-arms, this in turn pushes the wheels/tires out farther from the body, making tire/body contact more of an issue. The 2" body lift can help reduce rubbing. Less lift may be possible with more fender trimming. (from 4crawler.com)

Extending Brake lines:
Toyota Fittings are 10mm x 1.00 thread with an inverted flare.

ProComp #7210 are Longer than stock Stainless Steel brake lines. (set of three)

One piece 23" long replacement brake line for the front is Napa #38688
This turns out to be a front line from a 90-96 Nissan 300ZX if you wanna get one from somewhere else.

The flexible rear brake line (goes from the hardline to the rear axle) is commonly used for extending the front and rear brakes lines since it has one male end and one female end. So when these lines are swapped inline with the stock lines, and you will have plenty of room for extra lift and flexy suspensions. The Napa #38256 is the stock length (19" long) rear flexible brake hose. Napa #36881 is 11" long if you need one a bit shorter.

Or you can buy a second stock brakeline and and use the 2 together for the extra length, Napa # 38796.
