I dont know how much lift I have but I think it is more then 2.5 . I did cut my bumpstops as you suggested to get more out of it. Then the tops of my wheels leaned in after I cranked them real far. So I changed my upper control arms to 96 montero upper control arms and that allowed more lift and leveled my wheels out. Still though 35s I think are the biggest I have seen on any trucks in the US.

Or if you want more you might try a lift kit. Sadly I dont know the name of it but a guy on this forum by the Name of DC has it on his Montero Sport. It to may fit a gen 1 but I dont know. I think you could fit 37s easily then.
