96 4 runner lift/tires/shocks setup questions

OK HERE GOES

I WILL BE USING THE TOYTEC 3" LIFT WITH THE OME SPRINGS
WILL THIS SUSPENSION LIFT AND A POUNDING OF A CERTAIN PINCH POINT BE ENOUGH TO FIT A 265 85 16
WITHOUT RUNNING BOARDS BUT WITH FENDER FLARES

HOW WIDE CAN I GO USING FACTORY WHEELS WITHOUT A LOT OF RUBBING
I LIKE IT TO STILL BE ABLE TO CORNER WITHOUT ROLLING THE SIDEWALLS
AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY COMMENTS ABOUT WHEEL SPACERS FOR THIS SETUP I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS I WANT THE FENDER WELLS FULL

I AM MOSTLY ON THE ROAD SO I LIKE A SMOOTH RIDE
WILL THE OME LD OR MD SHOCKS PROVIDE THIS

HOW ARE THE TIKICOS IN COMPARISON
AND WHERE IS THIS AWFUL PINCH POINT THAT I KEEP HEARING ABOUT

KEEP IN MIND I AM NEW TO THIS AND I JUST WANT TO BE SURE BECAUSE THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY TO ME.

THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS

JEREMY

Watch the 3 inch spacer on the front due to CV angles. Some with a 3inch lift experience the CVs puking. Make sure you have a differential drop kit in your plans. Maybe a 2.5 inch would be alittle safer.

I have a 2.5 inch spacer on my front with factory shocks and the ride is fine to me...you will have a stiffer ride but nothing to extreme..thats one of the effects of having a lift.

Your tires should have plenty of clearance with that lift. If you have 285-75-16's then you might have alittle rub, but a body lift would help avoid that issue. I have a slight rub on mine at goovy angles, but nothing extreme.

Alot of guys use the OME springs on the rear and tundra springs on the front...you could spend all day looking at the search results...

Good luck.
