    Hi guys, was looking into the benefits of the different tire sizes. Was hoping someone could tell me what they had to do to get their 33's to fit a second gen. Tacoma and possibly what the bare minimum amount of mods would be to get them to fit. Thanks.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Front and rear suspension lift of at least 2.5" front and 1" rear, Wheels with a back spacing of 4.5" to 3.75", removal of front mud flaps, possibly replace front upper control arms with aftermarket to accommodate a good alignment. There is always the possibility of some front wheel well trimming, cab mount chop, plastic trimming, but that is determined after the suspension upgrade and wheel install.

    3" lift, proper backspaced wheels, cab mount chop, and various small trimming seems to be about what's needed for a usable setup, meaning full turns, flexing, etc.

    Also depends on width of tires. Pizza cutters are easier than fatties (255/85s vs 285/75s).
