Ok fellas, here's my shopping list, tell me what you think

Ok, talked to a few of you nice gentleman and came up with some ideas. I was thinking of ordering this stuff sometime this week and getting a buddy of mine whose a Toyota mechanic to help me put it on this weekend. 3" Cornfed front, 2.5" rear, Roger Brown 3" kit, RB rocksliders, 33x12.5R16 Super Swamper SSRs, Mickey Thompson Classic II 16x8 with 3 3/16s backspacing. The tire and wheel combo I got the idea from Mallrats old ride. Tell me what you think. Give me suggestions, ideas, whatever you got.

The ideal backspacing on a 3rd gen with 16x8's is 4.25-4.5"..With wide tires like you've chosen, I bet you'd be rubbing a fair ammount with the tires sticking out that far.

Otherwise, sounds good!

looks good I'd probably go with TSL radials rather the SSRs, and I'd go with as small of BL as you can to still fit the tires, you could probably have it work with a 2"...Do you need to do a diff drop with that much lift? Wait forget the first part, I just remembered that they don't make a 33x12.50x16 TSl Radial. Looks good!

Hey Silver_Truck and gapguy. Thanks for your comments. I stole the wheel and tire idea from Mallrat, he said that it worked for him. I'm a big fan of his old ride.
