Many people say this setup creates to much stress, and you will get extra damage while wheeling. I don't know if there is a mathamatical equation for this or what, but I have never broke anything, and I wheel hard. Has anyone had this setup or bigger, and broke something that was directly related to having the oversize tires and lift?
PS. I run a 4" suspension and a 3" body lift.

The only extreme stress (that I know about) with a suspension lift is the angle of the CV axles... Some people with 4" lift have better CV angles than stock. I personally don't run a lift, but 4" suspension + 2-3" body is what ima do I think. First, I've gotta save some money. Dang, high-school sucks.

i think 35s on IFS is kind of pointless unless you're running a long travel suspension setup. makes it too tall and breaks stuff.

35's on IFS is only too tall if you lift it, personally I run zero lift and 35's. My friend has a SAS'ed '94 with 37" Krawlers sits about 2" taller than I do, but he has a lot of $$$ into his suspension and wants it low.

The IFS only see's real breakage it the truck has a lift(or bad CV angles) and a locker up front. Open diff and no lift(near flat CV angles) you can keep the front end alive for much longer. My truck's lower A-arms sit flat yet I can still clear 35's(fender trim). I have wheeled it hard and it's my DD. I have over 311K miles on the truck and it runs better than a lot of other Toytota's out there.

It's about how it's built and how you drive it. You have to know what your trucks limits are.

there's a million scenarioes as to how such and such lift and tire and wheel and width and angle and blah blah blah can happen. The best thing to do is, research what the general consensus is and DON'T BE CHEAP when it comes to modding you're truck. Take you're time if you have a budget to stick to. I've been working my way from front to back when it comes to armor for my rig for over a year, next thing on my list is a rear bumper.

any pics?

Again, I hear a lot of "I think"s. Has anyone damaged anything because of the tire/lift combo? Please, why do I keep hearing this?

lmao i had 7" (4" sus, 3 bod, 35's) and the only problem i had was i got alittle outta control and ran over some dirt piles that were on the side of the beaten path, they were packed and about 4X3' (3' high) and i just crimped some of the fender just behind the front passenger tire, it was kindda minor, just pushed it in 2 or 3".
And that was atleast a year of drivin her hard, then i rolled well Flipped her on the hood!!! so she's a parts truck now lol

CV's aren't incredibly weak, they just aren't as strong as the SFA shafts. "Wheeling hard" has different meanings for different people. If you can keep from being at a hard turn with a lot of power on, especially if one tire comes off the ground, you should be ok. A fellow ttora-ne member runs 36x12.5 TSL's on a 3" susp/3" body on a 2001 Tacoma and he hasn't had many problems. At the same time, two older ttora members run 35's on IFS and were buying the warrantied Autozone shafts because they would literally break one or more per year, every year, return them and get new ones.

I've had my Runner lifted for over a year and I've only broke one cv shaft. that was from bouncing the front end when I was stuck in sand. I'm not a rock crawler, just a weekend trail rider. I've got about 10" of lift on 38's and I don't have any problems.
he said it right.
