93 with 2" OME lift - Dakar leafs, BJ spacers, stock shackles and tbars.
33x12.5x15 Toyos on 15x8-3.75" wheels. 22re/5spd/4.88s
Minor front bumper trim and trim/pound pinch weld.
No swaybar and no rubbing at full lock/full compression except slightly in rear due to extra articulation from triangulated shocks, stock length shackles and no bump stops.
Stance is perfect IMO with just enough room to clear everything with minimal lifting. Tires stick out past fenders around 1-2" and have maybe 3/8" between upper control arms. I would personally NOT do 10" wide wheel unless has a much taller or much wider tire or risk wheel damage, decreased turn radius, more leverage on axles, and sticking out like 3" on each side. Also the sidewall and wheel surface would be close to flush so risk easier popping of bead on trail besides scraping that wheel to hell. 12.5" is perfect on a 8-9" wide wheel and is what most manufacturers recommend for their products. 12.5" tires easier to find in stock everywhere too.
Your truck has an awesome stance. I also like how you kept your valance and just trimmed it. I was thinking about doing something similar to mine if I ever go to 33s. I hate the no valance look.

^thanks!
trimmed the valance after a boulder crunched the corner of it when i mistakenly went down Fordyce instead of Eagle Lakes. later in the summer/fall i'm planning to ditch the stock bumper since it's the last piece of armor i need (besides t-case skid) -- will be making plate bumper based off the TG winch plate.

How about 37s on 2" lift
full stuff, on bump stop. I had to use a 1" bump stop spacer in the rear with cutting/bashing/clearancing. touching the mud flap here, otherwise rub free.
I can turn in both directions in the front fully stuffed and not rub. Required floorboard/firewall modification and bumper cutting.

EDIT: How do you figure you have 5" of lift? You have 2" on the rear and 1.5" in the front (that's if you didn't touch your bj spacers). Unless you have a 3" body lift (I don't see anything in your sig that says if you do), you don't have a total of 5".

^um...show us these "3 inch BJ spacers".....pretty sure BJ spacers this tall don't exist and if they do they would be outright dangerous to run because of the leverage theyd put on everything. Perhaps you have 1.5-2" BJ spacers with some t-bar crank to net you 3" from where it was before? Same with AALs - 2" should only give you around 2" lift unless paired with shackles or blocks to go higher. Maybe you're just saying you're at 5" lift from previous state of typical saggy toyota suspension?

also i haven't seen 3" ball joint spacers... and agree that they would prob be impractical... do you have a link to how/where you bought them? or maybe a receipt?
was your truck lowered when you got it? if so then the 5" is believable if it wasn't stock to begin with. just curious
