2nd gen 37s?

Ive got an 06 tacoma. Its 2wd. Im about to get 4 in spindles and a 3 in body lift. And aal. I already have 3in coilover. So it would be right at 10in. How bad would 37s rub like this. I know the body mount but what else.

 

First off 4+3+3 is 10 inches of lift. Now on to your question, it won't rub. 7 inches of suspension lift and a 3 inch body is more than enough to clear 37's. Now unless you regear, moving them is going to be damn near impossible.

 

as someone who is actually on 37s, that's just not true... I didn't regear and it moves fine.

 

Oops that was simple math too. But thanks!

 

I feel bad for your gears.... and u joints

 

Would it mess them up?

 

Yeah... Stock gears with 37s... Your gears will break and your tranny will cry. Your u joints already hurt from the lift.

 

So i would need to regear right?

 

Yeah. to 4.88 at least

 

Alright thanks!

 

Why? I wheel the hell out of my rig, not a single problem with it - and when I say wheel the hell out of it, I mean ALL THE DAMN time, haven't once broken a joint or gear - It's this type of nonsense that propagates the ignorance on this forum. Everyone says regear, regear, but no one has bothered asking why. Now I want to be clear, there ARE reasons to regear, but just breaking stuff isn't one of them, and saying the truck doesn't move isn't one either. I drive my truck at 80mph on 37s, EVERY day on the way to work, I wheel the hell out of it EVERY weekend, the only breakage so far is a rear driveshaft because I landed on it and bent it...

Regearing is most definitely not necessary, it's not a bad idea, but it's not required and will result in worse gas mileage for a vehicle that isn't a dedicated rig.

 

Im gonna listen to you and save my money then lol

 

Let me know how your transmission is doing in a year.

 

You are ruining a perfectly good truck for looks. Keep the 3" and be happy.

 

sure thing - based on that comment alone though I'm not convinced you understand how a transmission works.

 

Nah, i want my truck the way i want it.

 

I do. But since your selling your truck I guess you wont be able to tell me if your tranny lasts on 37s. You say you wheel but I broke every skid plate you have.

 

I've put more than 20k miles on the 37s, including a trip to moab and back this past summer... all on stock gears.

 

You breaking every skid plate I have just tells me you have no idea what you're doing.

 

I might need to regear though, mines older then yours stuff might start breaking
