3" lift w/ 33" tires or 6" lift w/ 35" tires

gotcha.. glad it worked out for u as long as u like it thats what counts! looks great i loved the 6" look tho, haha

 

If I measure to the diff its over to 16"- i was measuring to bottom of AP skid

 

i am curious what kind of clearance numbers the rcd guys are getting

 

Drop bracket lift. It'll be the same as the 6" guys if the tires are the same.

 

yeah probably right but sometimes the rcd trucks look like they have more clearance for some reason. idk

 

My truck, black one, has 265/75, so pretty much 31.6in. The white truck with the DB has 33in tires. I have no lift (on order, I cant wait!). I have the optional skid, just painted black, so I have that thin red line go slightly up beyond the skid to line up with the front diff. With out the skid, both would have pretty much the same diff clearances (assuming 4x4). I hadn't seen a side by side pic yet, and I was lucky enough to park next to a tacoma with a DB, perfect opportunity.

 

Can you run a 16 inch rim on the second gens.

 

Yes

 

Yes.

 

up yours buddy lol you know the big white has been to rausch and its going back here n a few months and it does just fine.

 

...why not get the best of both worlds...


...and get a 6" with 33's?

 

^^ agree, 6 inch lift with 33's, it looks a lot better

 

Don't listen to jay, he doesn't know what he's talking about ;D

 

I just bought 33" BFG AT I have a 3" lift and 3" spacers ... What part of the fender do i need to cut to avoid rubing on turns? anyone done this before and whats the best tool to cut it out with

THANKS!

 

Do you have a short bed? or long bed?

 

that happened to me on the way back from the meet. but front tire.

 

Apples and oranges comparison here. 2WD's like yours have more ground clearance then 4WD's without a doubt. A DB lifted on 35's is pretty equal to a 3" lift on 33's as far as front ground clearance goes. Check out white2010taco's truck. That has a ton of clearance. If only there was a way to engineer 4WD's CV's and drivetrain so that they could achieve just as much clearance.

 

Monkeyproof's truck is 4WD LT.

 

Thank you for the clarification N0rth. With that much clearance in the front, my eyes fooled me thinking it had to be a 2WD. I was told from Wheelers Offroad to stay away from Long Travel for doing any kind of serious offroad like Monkeyproof is doing. That LT is just meant for desert racing applications.

Monkeyproof, how does your truck handle compared to other Tacomas with 3" mid-travel shocks that most members would suggest having on these rock climbing trails?
