    Ok this is my first post.
    I am purchasing a 96 taco this weekend and its stock. I want to lift er up so I can throw some 31-33s under it. I have decided on the OME kit...I think...well I just read where some people have camber problems after lift kits? Is that true? I want this truck to drive as close to normal as possible. Someone please tell me what all i need to make this kit reliable and relatively smooth. Thanks!

    yup! assuming you're 4 wheel drive or prerunner (6 lug) that is. if you have a 5 lug truck, then whole different ball game.

    early first gens (95-00) came stock with 31s (31/10.5r15). then they went to 265/75r16s in 2001 (through 2004)

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Yep! That's what I went with 265/75R16 on 16" wheels. Slight rubbing on the front until I took off the mudflaps and did the pinch weld mod, now it's not an issue. Well, only at full lock with a little compression.

    265/75/16's aren't quite a 32", closer to being a 31" really, up to 2000 models came stock with 31"x10.50x15"'s, in 2001 they went metric with 16" wheels IIRC...

    You CAN stuff some 32"'s on your truck but you will have some rub issues
