Need some advice!

Just ordered a 2.5” Bilstein 5100 lift kit with new springs, JBA upper control arms, and an add a leaf. For my 2015 double cab long bed, 4wd with the 5speed. Looking to put some bigger tires on, but am worried about mpg, and a lack of power and potential other issues. It currently has some 31” dry rotted mud terrain tires. I was hoping to get some 33” mud terrains, I do a bit of highway driving on 55-80 mph windy/hilly highways, I do a decent amount of off roading/over-landing so sometimes have a shell on and drawers inside that weigh about 500lbs, and some minor towing. So also planning on installing airbags on my rear suspension when I get the money.

Thanks in advance!

I have an 87 4runner, and I just need something reliable, that I can go camping, off roading, and use for work, It’s hard to find a double cab, long bed, 4wd, and the v6 all together. The truck looks to be in good shape, with some minor scratches. I am worried about spending $18,000 on a truck with 160,000 miles, does this sound like a good deal??

I was driving and my vehicle started to make a really loud vibration/grinding noise for like 20 seconds, then it went away. When I went to go investigate my driver side axle had a tone of play as is in the video. I drained my differential and the liquid didn’t have any noticeable chunks of metal. Before I tear apart does anyone have any advice?? Thanks
