Question Fitting 33x12.5's

Hello, I have a few quick questions about lifting my 4Runner.
A friend just gave me a set of 33x12.5's that I wanna fit.
I've got a 1990 4Runner, automatic transmission.

1. Can I use BJ spacers/LC coils or body lift with an automatic transmission?

2. Will either of these (whichever works) be sufficient to give me the height needed to run 33x12.5's without serious rubbage?

3. Do I need anything extra? (Panhard drop bracket? shocks?)

Thanks, Charlie.

get the bj spacers and the coils, body lifts look like poop. with the spacers and coils you should get/need extended shocks.

They will fit stock. Just trim/hammer the pinch weld in the front fender and youll be fine.

Haha sorry Logan I didn't even think to ask you. You didn't see mine though, currently my trucks out of commission haha. But I did see your truck the other day, it's looking good, I like your whip antenna.

Theres tons of info on here about lifts and what tires you can run. I believe its a sticky thread at the top of the 86-95 section. I'd recommend a Wabfab bj/coil kit and 33's will clear fine
