I put a 3" body lift on my '92 2WD pickup. With that, I got 15" wheels, and
30" tires. My truck is about 5" higher now.

If you want slightly better cornering capabilities, but a harsher ride
quality, Put larger rims on and smaller aspect ratio tires. (Any good tire
store can match up the overall circumference to keep the speedo in line.)

TRD makes a larger diameter exhaust for this truck, as well... But the
aftermarket exhaust shops may be able to do the same sort of thing a little
less expensively.

yes, checked into putting 15" tires on my ’86 2wd… The folks
at les schwaub said it can be done without a lift (in my case up
to something like 235/75 r15) They have a book at most of those
tire places where they can look that stuff up. good luck.
