Body lift size?

Alright, so here is my problem. When my 4runner sits down hard on either side of the rear axle, my tire is in the top of the wheel well before the axle hits the bumpstops. There is about 1/2 in - 1 in between the bumpstops and axle. I'm not sure what size body lift I need or if I can get longer bumpstops. I'll post pictures tomorrow, but just wanted the get this out there.

Yah without a BL and having 285's you will rub. Since you know about the sonoran web sight, check out his rear bump stops. He has 2 options for stops that would work. From what I have seen and read a 1 1/2" BL will keep it from rubbing in the rear. Most guys just go 2" to be safe.

This has a really good write up about how the bump stops help rear traction and deal with a 2-3" lift. I need these also.
