I drive a 1995 2.7L 4Cyl Tacoma LX Ext cab(auto). I look to be riding about 70/30 Road/trail&mud. I'm currently running 235's and want to move to at least 33's. I think my truck has 4.10 gears, not really sure. I know i want both a body and suspension lift but need some guidance. I'd like a setup similar to ovvrdrive's truck.


Also, i was talking to a friend about adding a locker( aussie or lockright) to the rear of my truck. He said with our trucks it wasn't possible because our rear diff has a clutch package? Anyone know anything about this our another fix for it?

Thanks

to run 33s and clear them on a 95 tacoma you need 3inces of lift i did a rough country 3inch it was cheap i think like 250$ it was just 3inch aluminum coil spacers up front and blocks in the rear id personally do that over a body lift any day i ran 33/12.50-20 mudd grapplers only problem i had was the mudd grappers side lug sticks out alot and rubbed my a-arm by about a 1/4 inch, but that has nothing to do with lift. they make a locker for the tacoma i dont remember which one it is but i know they have one.

heres a pic of my tacoma....

There are plenty of lockers available for that 8.25" diff. A lockrite/aussie will bang and pop a bit back there. A noslip might be quieter but more money.

I'd go with a milder 2" suspension lift with a 1" diff drop and a 1" body lift to keep the geometry better.

That 4cyl will be huffing to push 33"s around on 4.10s.

whats the largest body lift i could get without having to change cables/cords/hoses/whatnot

Hey, where in AL are you from?

Most likely, your truck does have 4.10 gears. But it does not have a clutch pack in it, so you can put a locker in it.

You can go up to 3in body lift, and I think the only main thing it interfears with is the gas tank hose.

I would recomend that you go with a total of 4 inches of lift. You can get a bracket lift, which has a crossmember drop for the front and usually an ad-a-leaf and/or block for the back. OR the cheaper method would be 2in body, and 2in spacer for front and block in the back.

I wouldn't how about 2" and you trim, thats what I did and I can run 33's easily

I would get some ride height adjustable bilsteins for the front, and some AAL and maybe a new shackle for the rear.

That shouldn't be too expensive and a lot better than a body lift, or blocks and spacers

I would suggest running 255/85/16's or 33x10.5x15 for your tires, they are a lot lighter than the 33x12.5's and you can probabley deal with the sluggishness from the engine on 4.10's, but if your going to regears I would go to 4.88's
