Ok I gotta ques I have a 90 toyota with the 22re and was wonderin how it would be to run 33's on stock gearing and a 4in lift!!

Red3.slow

5spd or auto

5spd it will be slow very slow but torerable. With the auto it will be painfully slow

Its a 5spd yea Im sure those big heavier tires would be hard on my front end and it would harder on my brakes since they have to stop those big tires

it wont be too bad since you have a 5 spd. I wouldnt worry about it. I have the 3.0/auto and it isnt too bad

I'd save the money you'll spend on the 4" and get gears/lockers. You can fit 33's very inexpensively and have a more durable truck too without the 4" lift. Search and you'll find a load of info or just go to www.4crawler.com.

If you must do the 4" lift either weld the 3 piece bracket type into one piece brackets or just get the one piece bracket type otherwise you'll definitely want to search on my threads pertaining to how to align your truck yourself.

Even with the 3.0, 5 speed, and 33's the engine works hard. With the 2.4, you'll have your foot to the floor a lot. The clutch will wear much more quickly as will the engine and drivetrain.

I have the 22RE and 5 speed with 33x12.50's. It is ok except for the highway. It struggles on hills at highway sppeds in 5th gear. Around town it isn't to bad. Just know it wasn't a race car before. It wont be one after.

i'm running a v6 3.slo with 35x12.50x15's with factory 4.88's 5 speed. its not too bad. but definitely not a high performance machine! pretty much in 4th gear on the freeway until i hit about 75mph. even then i can still run it in 4th and the rpms are at about 3100. and yes my gas mileage sucks.....

I had 33's and stock gears with abracket lift and 5spd. SUCKED

Burn clutches, 1st gear has to slip the clutch to get moving. 5th gear is useless unless you are going downhill witha rocket strapped to the cab.

don't plan on it. 31's are the practical limit for stock gearing witha 5speed and stock gears...and that isn't even ideal.

my 85 runner came with 33 mud terrains and it was slow, handled poor and was loud on the fwy and milage sucked. i can only imagine the wear and tear on clutch and brakes. i switched asap to 31 at's and it an awesome day and night diff in all the above. cept it doesn't look as cool.

I do ok with 32's, 5 speed and 4.56. That said I will put 4.88's in when I go up to 33's next time. There is a noticable acceleration change when you go from stock to 32's. I have learned that the 3.0 loves to rev and 3000 RPM is about the magic spot for shifting. No bogging when the higher gear engages.

OK Ive decided to save and gear my yota with 4:88 gear ratio and run the
33's what do you think is that a good setup

Diesel_Freak

I've got a Gen1 Runner 22RE(221K) 5spd w/ 31x10.50's and 4.10's and frankly it sucks. If you're going to run 33's run 4.88's with them. I just drove from Portland out to Central Idaho for a weekend of rafting and I was really trying to kill my engine to get up some of the steeper grades with a moderate ammout of gear in the truck. Add the basket rack and Gorge winds and the truck struggles to keep going 55 some times. Gearing is a great way to save your engine the hassle of being in 3rd to make steep grades.

33's are in my near future, and the 4.88's and a locker are the next purchase. I honestly think that if had the propper 4.56 gears for my 31's now, I wouldn't be so damn anxious to do an engine swap. The 22re is killer and it's a torque'y little motor, but it's small so gearing becomes more imparitive than it is on somehting thaty can just grunt though the mechanical disadvantege.That's juat my.02

Cheers and No Worries

Great plan. Get 33x10.50 - they will fit a lot better, plus they will work great on the stock rims, so you can save the money for that too!

4.88's with 5speed is the right gearing for 33's.

If you 'wheel the truck at all think about doing lockers while you're in the diffs - the install is essentially identical, so you get the install for "free".
