Need Pictures of 79-83 truck with 3" Rough Country Lift

Does anyone out there have photos of their rig 1979-1983 toyota 4x4 with a 3 inch Rough Counrty Lift? Any thoughts on the 3" Rough Country lift? I would be doing front and rear springs. Input is appreciated.

I have had a 3" rough country on my '83 for three years and no problems. If that's all your going with you can fit 33's but with serious flex they'll still rub a bit. I have since put a 1.5" body lift moved my axle forward 1" and tubbed my front wheel wells to fit 37's. I'm headed to moab this weekend to see if everything works without rubbing. "Behind the Rocks" here I come.

Behind the rocks is cooool. I've never wheeled in Southern Utah, but I've spent a ton of time hiking, backpacking and some bike riding. Awesome place.

yeah, as long as you keep wheelin it in the mall parking lot, it should be fine.

i am running 33x12.50's on 9 inch wide wheels, the only place they rub is on the firewall.
