Is anyone running a 4" bracket lift with 33/12.50-15s?? If so, I'd greatly appreciate some pictures. I'm trying to get a sense for what my 89 regular cab 4x4 will look like with this set-up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but a 4" bracket lift on 16" rims and 31's might give you some idea:

TOYOTA 1

abe, thats a clean lil 4runner you have.. i likes...

B. Graves

Heres my old 94 with a 4" Trailmaster lift on it. Im not sure what exactly a bracket lift is but this is a 4" lift. 33/12.50/15 Firestone Destination M/Ts.

A bracket lift is generally an IFS lift kit...

They will fit, or you could save a bunch of money and trouble and just get 33x10.50 since they will fit with no lift.

thanks.
that's a procomp 'stage II' lift on there with procomp 4/5" lift rear springs.
and I'm fairly good at taking pics from flattering angles.
I'd likely remove those running boards, but if I did, even with that 'little' lift, my wife would have a hard time getting in it.

TOYOTA 1

thats what i was thinking...

yea she looks sweet..

it doesn't look "over lifted" even with 31's..

you do any wheelin with her ?? or is it just your dd?

my truck is 4in not ifs though, same size tires you are looking to clear, mine clear fine down the road any moderate flexing and the tires are in the fenders, dont waste your money on procomp springs they are junk i hate my rears.

it is my dd. but does do some trails, getting up to my cell and microwave sites.

Thanks for the pictures!
Yeah, I realize that the 33/12s will fit with the 4" lift without problems. I wasn't asking if they'd fit, I just wanted to try to see what it would look like. I was concerned that with 4" and 33s that it would look over lifted, but looking at the pics of B.Graves truck, I think it looks pretty good! Right now, I'm debating a 4" lift OR BJ spacers and AAL. I like the look of tall skinny tires, so I may go with a 4" lift and 33/10.50s.

Come on, y'all...I need to see more pictures of IFS trucks/Runners with 4" lifts and 33s. I've got everything I need, except the lift. I've got tires(BFG 33/10.50 KM2), 4.88 gears, and new wheels. I just can't decide on the lift. HELP!!
Also, if I go with a 4" bracket lift, which brand?? Is the Rough Country lift OK???

if i were you, i would do a 2inch body lift, bjspacers, and a 2in AAL in the back. that would be 4inches, and probaly under $400 bucks. a guy at a offroad store here where i live said he would stay away from rough country lifts. cuz i was gonna buy one. he said most of the ones they had installed came with missing and wrong parts. i aint givin anyone that has the lift a hard time, but that is just what ive heard

4" Superlift & ball J spacers & 1" body lift

TOYOTA 1

ahh cell sites.. the roads to those can get pretty nasty in the winter..

my buddy used to do work for u.s cellular, do you climb the towers? or are you a ground-men? i have never climbed higher than the ice bridge, but Ive installed a port boot or 2... lol

Once again, you don't need any lift to fit the 33x10.50. There's much better things to spend the money on. Like lockers - if you're gonna be in there doing gears, should get lockers now if you're actually gonna wheel the thing!

MKW

I know I don't NEED a lift, but I WANT one! The money is not a huge issue, I just want to be happy with what I do...the first time. Any wheeling that I do will be nothing more than mud. We don't have much else in S.GA. I'm seriously considering a locker for the rear, but it is not a "either/or" situation. I can get both.
I'm not asking "What will work?", I'm asking, "What will it look like?". I drive offroad for hunting, nothing more.

Here's an Extra cab, 4" suspension lift with and without all the adornments.
