    Yeah, guess I could have specified that they are slightly customizable to your needs.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Each to their own, but I personally wouldn't run a body lift on a desert truck unless the cab had solid mounts and the cab was plated to an internal cage. The extra leverage with a body lift is frightening.

    And while with LT you don't have the concern of hitting the frame, you can still hit the pinchweld. I only have 33's (285x75x16) and I rubbed the pinchweld full lock/stuff with my old wheels (4" BS). Adding another inch on the tire radius will certainly compound that. I still constantly hit my wheel well aprons at full bump.

    In the end it all depends on what the goal is for the truck. 35's take a lot of massaging to make work if you are planning on using all of the the suspension travel on a first gen.

    In order for me to clear 35"s I took a huge portion of the fire wall/floor out and plated it back in and teimmed the glass 1.75" al the way around the edge. It was full weekend job but now it clears locked and stuffed in both directions.

    I have a 1" body lift and just beat the firewall with a hammer till it cleared. You gotta monitor the ECU while you do that though because it ends up encroaching on the wire harness and you dont want to pinch that the wrong way (3rd gen 4runner/1st gen tacoma)

    also I have stock fenders cut but the tires stick out alot and locals laws may stop that from being a option.

    This was for mid travel. I beat it back a bit more for LT
    http://www.ultimateyota.com/showthread.php?8846-fitting-315-75-16-tires-on-a-3rd-gen-4runner

    body lift is undesirable from a center of gravity stand point, but 1" wont be something that will break or shear mounts off. for fitting 35" its pretty helpful to just save some time and effort. Again if you take the time to clear without a body lift you are ahead of the game.

    You'll have to cut and weld the fire wall and cut the fenders

    a lot more. you need new diff gears if you actually want to enjoy it too.

    i did just see your a 2013 though so you might get by with just some serious hammering of the fire wall and cutting of fenders.

    I'm running 35s on methods with the TC 3.5 kit. Normal clearance pounding of the pinch seam and cab mount cop, and Glassworks fenders. I only hit my glass twice at full bump from some extreme hits. Even then it was just a tap.
