I lifted mine got bigger tires.
I lifted it again got bigger tires.
started flopping over on speedbumps
really was too high and flopped alot.

got pissed off took body lift out to lower it back down.
had issues with steering box hitting body mount ,cause i moved it after the lift and the trans/tcase hitting floor

so after spending hours jacking with the body mount
and days cutting 3'x4' hole in floor, cause i raised the trans/tcase it after the lift ,got it lowered back down.

bottom line is it dont flip as easy as it used to on a speed bump

I would trim fenders if they hit the 33's and move on
lower with a bigger tire always looks better don't you think?

I have been watching this thread and have a question, I have a 86 runner 5spd and just bought 35" and been told to do 5.29's (per TG) but I have also been told to get 4.88's. I only plan on taking out to the trail (driving it) it's not a DD. I am also gearing the t-case for the trails. What's your opinion? Thanks!

For trails I would run the 5.29;s personally but it is an opinion. Either I would think will be fine. You running new years day?

i run 38's in my yota with with stock 4.10 gears and dual transfer cases..(mine is trailer queen..never sees the road)...been wheelin that way for 2 years..i like it...its a lil bit high geared but not enough to justify droppin 600-800 bucks on ring and pinions...plus spare 4.10s are easy to get...gearing is a personal opinion type thing i think...fabricator is runnin 38s with 4.88s and gets around real well..it runs good on the road too..

As far as I can tell, won't be able to run the 4runner, but would like to attend.Had a good time last year.Won't have to leave early this year.The whole gearing thing is kinda confusing, just want to make sure it's steetable.Thanks for the help.
