TIRES FOR 2004 Tacoma Ext Cab

i would like to put 35x12.50 R15 mickey thompsons on my tacoma, what would i need for a suspension lift?

 

Two options:

A: 3" suspension lift + cutting and tubbing the firewall.

B: 6" drop bracket lift from Fabtech or the like. You have to cut your front suspension crossmember out I believe.

Option A will be cheaper/more difficult depending on your skills.

Option B is more of a street lift, i.e. not really meant for serious wheeling, more for looking cool and fitting large tires.

 

what do you have to do to cut and tube firewall? we have a 4 inch lift restriction in pei, so id have to do the three

 

what 33`s could i get without cutting firewall, and with the 3 inch lift?

That link will give you an idea what it will take to run 35's with a minimal lift.

That link has a lot of good information on how to run 33x12.50 / 285/75/16 tires on a 3" or less lift.

Beyond that, you can use the search button at the top to get more info. These topics have been covered dozens of times on this board, so start searching and start reading. There are many very knowledgeable members on here that have build threads and How-to threads that cover your questions.

Good luck!

 

SAS it.

 

I run a little over 4 inches on my taco on PEI, never had any problems with any restriction law...

 

Oh i was just told it was 4.. maybe they were wrong, so if i throw a 4 inch lift, and 33`s ill hace no problems with inspection?

 

I didn't, they didn't even say anything to me about it either. So I bet you will be fine. I run 33 KM2s and they absolutely destroy your gas mileage by the way.

 

What do you get for mgs on island?

 

Around 11 mpg with my v6 with 4.10s.

 

Where do you offroad in PEI?

 

Couple trails around Belfast, and down by the ferry. Nothing to spectacular but better then nothing!
