3.75"-4.25" will work; it depends on how far you want them to stick out.jtaco1 said:
What backspacing does everyone run?

In general, 33x12.50s require 5-6" of lift to really 'clear' them. Some still rub even with 6" of lift. If you are willing to do some sawzall trimming and hammering you can technically make them work with 3" or so depending on the type/brand of lift.Ritchie said:
and then theres the needed regearing
If you have 12.50s you can't be running 4.5" backspacing...won't workVernon29RW said:
The tires will really rub the frame rails on turns and the spindle towers whenever w/o going to less bs than the stock 4.5". With the 2.7, that amount of lift should work with only minor rubbing if you really try hard When I had the 882s/N91s I had 3+" and could rub the inner fender plastic on full compression. A 1" bl would have solved that.I initially went to 4.56s up from OE 4.30s (that at the time I thought were 3.91s cuz I trusted Toyota's website...oops) when I got the 33s. The power was back to near stock but I discovered I needed a bit more for the hauling I do and the steep, high Sierra trails I like to run. So....on went the 4.88s.
Hwy mileage is about the same or better under 65mph but drops a bit if I cruise faster than that. In-town mileage went up quite a bit, however.
On the trail the difference is huge compared to the 4.56s and that surprised me. I can also go up mild inclines on the hwy in 5th which I couldn't do before.
I don't even want to know, LOL04RedLobster said:wow you must of spent a lot of money changing gear to gear
