What needs to be done after the lift?

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks Were installing a 3" Trail Master lift and going to a 31" tire. Oh I'm so excited.....

Other than the obvious allignment, is there anything else that needs to be tuned on the truck?? Am I gonna have a big differance, (or any) on the Power Output with the bigger tires?

This is the long awaiting start to my "Mod Fever". I'm gonna have a ton of questions.

Thanks guy's

Haha..been there, still doing that!

Make sure that they Recalibrate the spedometer. Due to the bigger tires your spedometer might say your going 60mph, but you can really be going 65 or 67 mph..That was the case with me, but they fixed it right up.

 

Really?? I thought 32's were as big as I could go?

I spent half the day yesterday going through your pic's and mod's.... Wow! That is one beauty truck man..

You can go 33" tires (well, 285s).

So if you're going to run your stock wheels, you can go up to 285/70/17 size tires. However, by running the stock wheels (with 5.5" bs) you'll need to run wheel spacers to push the wheels away from your UCAs and avoid rubbing. Spidertrax makes a popular spacer for the tacoma in a 1.25" size.

 

if your looking for tires man I have to suggest discount tire, hardcorehehaw through it out there for me, and I know here in canada I have buddies that run tire shops and they couldn't even touch them. Good luck man, ps I want to see pics.

 

I actualy found a set of diss-continued Mickey Thomson Baja Belted where I bought my lift kit from. Charged me $170 a piece. Only problem, if one goes,, they all gotta go. Pretty tough tire though. Not realy worried.

When I get started on this I will post a shit load of pictures. As I said, I am so excited for my first Mod..

Where abouts in Ontario are ya? I'm in St.Thomas.

 

Im running 295's...well 33.26''

 

I'm living in kingston, and also will have a shit load of mods to do this summer, can't wait for the rims and tires to get here next week, then its a fold a cover to be installed a couple weeks after, a stereo, and maybe even a lift. can't wait.

 

Good luck man...Post pics!
