What happens when I lift my Ifs 5"?

[TurfTaco]

OME 882s with 3 trim packers 3.5-4"
N91 struts
spacer 1/2"
lift from loaded rear weight 1/2"
Total 4.5 to 5"

Want to run 35 x 12.50 BFG ALL TAs on 15x7 factory alloys, with 1.50" spacers, aware of funky wear paterns planning on rotating every 2K with a 5th.
Wat up w ball joints can i replace every 40-50K to get by or will they break?
What do you gurus think?
Usage will be moderate to difficult trails Rig has 98 TRD rear locker and full protection. would run 4.88s.
Rear susp is alcan 7 pack built to weight specs. 1.50" shackle.
Really want a unique ride!

It doesn't work like that.

Can't go much over 3" without dropping the suspension crossmember with a drop bracket lift.

Very funny!

I was hoping this was a joke :)

if you do this you are going to have no down travel and you are going to breaking shit left and right

You could do 3" and a 3" body lift and fit 35s

to actually be able to clear 35's on the trail it takes 6 inches of lift... so like previously stated.... either a drop bracket(fabtech, or Trailmaster... there is another i cant remember) or by combining coils(ome 882's with maybe a trim packer or 2) with a reputable body lift(4crawler) to get you the height you need.

if you try to go the route your thinking, which i dont even think is possible considering the amount of travel available, your cv's will be at too much of an angle and you will probably break them if you are running add with those 35's in the first few hundred miles just driving on the street. then there is the ball joints. for that much strain you will probably snap the studs right off the ball joints the first bump you hit because they will be pinned up against the arms.


but if you want to try then go for it i guess....

or turf you could do what a guy by the name of gunnipink did and put a 3.5" lift on and chop the piss of your fenders and firewall.

here is how much you would need to chop to put 35's under 3.5" lift

Why not just buy 2 sets of the 3'' spacer lift and stack them ?

either read the (entire) thread or tell us you're joking.

lol fairly sure that hes joking

[Brandon]

I'm thinking so too but his title is still newbie so it's anyones guess :D

[TurfTaco]

What about OME 882s w N91 struts 2-3 trim packers and 1" RB body lift
Remember 35 Bfg All Tas on stock 15x7" wheels wit h1.5" spacer up front
Then way laying the inner fender and cutting away all plastic inner fender material.

[tacotoy]

if you want to fit 35's on IFS either spend your money on a trailmaster, fabtech or the like...... that or do a 3" body lift in addition to your coils. at least in doing that you can do some t-case mods.... but all in all you are trying to make a bling truck that isn't going to be fuctional or useful in doing anything... at least in the way that you are trying to do it. a few things to keep in mind


35's are going to kill your IFS... probably starting with the rack
wheel spacers will work wonders on your wheel bearings...
to be able to fit 35's and not wheel you will need 3" of suspension and 2" of body lift
or quite a bit of trimming of your fenders(IE about 2" all around
to be able to fit 35's and wheel you will want at least 6" of lift... can be acomplished
with a combonation of suspension and body lift or a full drop bracket suspension kit
to be able to turn at all and not use wheel spacers you will need minimum of 3.75 BS
for your rims 3.5 BS would be better as you still need to clear your upper arms with
tires that are 12.5 inches wide.
if you trim your fenders it will never look the same
to further answer your questions go here http://www.tacomaterritory.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=25
that is the suspension page of the national boards. techniques vary by region but that is a wealth of information available to ya there.

[bluetaco]

You are not going to have good results fitting 35's with the combos of components you are mentioning...

What exactly are you wanting(just to drive around town on 35" tires?) ... how do you plan to use the truck?Specifically
... a truck on 35's is not necessarily unique unless you want to combo unique with dumb or expensive, etc.

on a side note...please stay away from spacers on wheels unless you are going to use the style of spacer Ronal manufactures (they are the manufacture for the OEM toyota alloys BTW)
on the following link about 7/8 of the way down the page is a paragraph on spacers specifically but read thru the entire page...please consider some of the issues mentioned on this page before you swap to a larger tire! http://www.ronalusa.com/shopping/index.html

if you tell us some things like budget, what you want and how you plan to use it there is a better chance of you getting some advice on the tried and true lift options

other wise use the search function of the forum and get to reading!
