You should be able too.

I saw that you had removed the front fender.
It is because the tire rubbed or for the look

I put a 265/70/17 with a 2.5" leveling kit. It only rubs in full lock. Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac LT.

So with 2.5 "I can not put more than 70 if I do some off-road

Without further mods, I wouldn't recommend it. I can barely fit my fingers between the upper control arm and the tire.

good idea for wheel spacer but I think its affect the life of the wheel bearing I prefer to have good off-set wheel

I spend soooo much building these trucks of mine I don't worry about wheel bearings! That FJ of mine had 2" spacers for 188,000 miles with no bearing problems ! The taco I just bought only has 11/4" spacers.

Front hub with a pressed wheel bearing included!
Frame might be replace in March or April. So I'm just getting by with a set of OME front struts and 885 OME springs. I had them from my old FJ they didn't lift it high enough with the 305/75-16 on the FJ. So I installed them in the new Taco with 2" rear blocks , u bolts and longer rear shocks. They give the Taco about 2" of front lift. Tires are new BFG KO's 285/70-17.
