Running 35's on stock 97 Tacoma ?

If you're going suspension lift, skip the spacers. Go for an add a leaf on the back and tundra struts up front.
On another note I am running 35s on my DD and they do alright. If you're not planning on hitting some trails go with the 33s. They look awesome and didn't hurt my mpg's much at all. But then again I don't hoon around on big tires anyways...unless it's snowing of course

 

My profile pic is mine with 33 12.50s on it. Also I'm running a 2.7 with a 5 speed so if you have an auto then it's probably not going to cope as good with 33s

 

^^ My 2.7 w/ auto does fine on 33's. It's geared with 5.29's... no problems at all.

OP, deciding on 33's is a very good call.

 

I mean on stock gears, I don't have an auto so I wouldn't know. But good to hear you don't have problems with them. I'm just informing him on what options he can do. I've been through a lot of trial and error before and it gets expensive

 

No worries...

You are correct in the trial & error stuff. Mucho bucks can easily be wasted. Doing it right the 1st time will leave you way ahead in the long run.

Good luck OP and enjoy.

 

My point wasn't about cutting & trimming. My point was..... full suspension travel on standard IFS lifted vehicles is HORRIBLE compared to solid front axle. If you want flex....you want solid front axle.

 

This is what you put 35s on



If you are looking to do this in the end, then no need to spend money on an ifs lift. 35s fit on this truck with a 4" bracket lift and a 1" body lift. Still needs regeared.

Here is an ifs lift with 33s.



Granted, this is a 91 pickup, but pretty similar, as far as lift goes.

 

It's a 3.7 manual and about skipping the spacers I want them because I don't like the way the tires look sucked up under the truck

 

Strut spacers...not wheel spacers

 

Yeah most are referring to the strut spacers.

There's plenty of members here that run 35s for Offroad use and get plenty of flex.

 

This is 35s all suspension lift and trimming only the plastic wheel well

 

How much did you lift it?

 

Ohh my F-ing God.


I mean..... it looks nice.

 

I want to say it's about 4-5 inches but I'm not sure exactly. I know my leaf springs in the back have torn both rear stock shocks in two. (bilsteins are going on when taxes come back). But it's definitely up there. I get a little scrub on my front bumper when on uneven terrain but other than that it does surprisingly well

 

Tubing and trimming fenders is almost free and will clear 35s with zero lift. Actually i believe @mrbeggins is currently setup like this.

 

Haha thanks

 

Sure, you can put 35s on without any lift, if you want to cut up your body. I know someone with a first gen 4Runner with 37s and no lift.

All down to what you want to do with the truck. OP seems to be going for looks.
