Is this the first time you're changing the rotors? If so, and you don't want to do the Tundra upgrade yet, you might just want to try whatever replacement rotors from the local parts store. I've replaced mine twice now since buying the truck, they last a couple years before starting to warp and...

It would be better math if you would say that 1 inch of suspension lift raises your center of gravity by 3/4 inch (an inch lift can only raise the cog by one inch max right? ... and suspension lift raises 75% of the weight of the vehicle because it includes the frame and body). So then for the...

If you just wanted to fix the rake, I'd say take out the front spacer. But since you want bigger tires, you'd be better off raising the back end. Here's an old thread about trim packers with 891's: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/93995-trim-packers.html Daystar makes leveling kits...
