um 2.5-3" i want to be able to fit 33" and not rub, but im not gonna buy tires for a little while so i dont want it to look goofy.

Not too be rude, but this subject has been beaten to death you will just be getting the same contrasting opinions that you found when you searched.

With that being said, go OEM.

lol yeah i know i kinda feel like an ass for asking this again... so you say OEM? any reason why OEM over OME?

4unner4life

I would go OEM all the way. I say OEM because it is proven the best on and offroad capability. I know if you do any towing that the OME rear springs are a little bit better due to the stiffness. As far as the front OME coils go, I have seen through many threads of how they sag dramatically over time. i have had my OEM lift on for about two months and it is awesome on and offroad. They only thing you should know about the OEM kit is that the rear LC coils are a little high at first, but they do settle, mine has settled about 1" in about two months. If you do go with the OEM lift, you should throw on a
1" body lift and your 33's will fit very well. I have 33x12.50s and they don't even rub at full stuff(mostly due to the correct backspaced rims).

For 33's just go with the Tundra coils up front (with topout spacers) and OME 890's in the rear unless you're looking to do a significant amount of offroading and are willing to give up some gas mileage to run the rake the LC coils give you. If you need a bit more height just do a 1" body lift to give yourself more room.

the thing is i dont know if i want to put on a B/L. i dont know about yoda's but i've heard that with B/L's you start to have problems....


if i do the L/C coils how much gas mileage would i lose?

UNR.Grad

OME can be CV boot killers, the struts are too long for 3rd Gens. The ride is pretty jarring. The front I would def. go OEM but for the rear OME works fine.

4unner4life

I have been getting decent(IMO) gas mileage with my LC coils. I have 3.90 gears,33x12.50 tires and I have been getting about 16.5 mpg in the city and 17-18 on the highway.

I was curious what brand your rims are and what is the amount of back spacing that you have?

4unner4life

I have 15x8 steelies with 4" backspacing. I bought them from www.wheelersoffroad.com .

I bet the truck looks great on those rims especially with the 33's. Thanks for the info.

even with a diff drop bracket?

FUZION

From what I've seen with a 2.25 or less lift up front, a diff drop bracket isn't always necessary but recommend. To fit 33's you don't have to go any higher up front. Have you looked at Toytec's lifts. I haven't even gotten my next runner yet but i've been racking my brain on trying to compare the Toytec OME3run lift and the tundra/890 lift. I guess I'll be going with whichever is less expensive.
TUNDRA/890 LIFT


Toytec LIFT
