lol deffinatly too big for IFS unless its a street queen that never gets more than the rattle of a pot hole or speen bump...... that would cause alot more damage than good if u wheel 38s on IFS

firtst i have a 4inch suspension with a 3 inch body. it is allllllllll the way down as in i can loosen the torsion bars no more and i am clearing a 37inch irok easily. i want to do a 1.5 inch BJ spacer and a full spring in the rear with maybe a 2 inch block. this will allow me to clear a 38 because i have a friend with the same truck and torsion bars maxed out (i told him not too) and he doesnt rub at alllllll. all we have around lafayette louisiana is flat land and mudholes. so i do not need to flex at all. o and by the way i have a 3.0 that is no where near enough power to snap cv's and break ring and pinions. its called not being a dumbass and letting off the gas when you start to hop. i have a limited slip in the rear and just might be going to solid front axle eventually but basically this thing is a mostly road king. i try to go offroad as much as possible but there are no trails that i can find and goin offroad normally means its done illegally out here.

toyotanick

i have not broken any cv's. my torsion bars are as loose as the will go. my a arms are as flat as they will go. unfortunatelly i have an open front diff for now. i have never broken any diff parts. or IFS parts for that matter.

and i am recently rolling a 37x12.5R15 for the past two years...


and yeas SCOTTAPHER i am planning on purchasing bigger rubbers. o and just to let you know i plan on purchasing a SFA 80 single cab pickup very soon to be my trail truck.

righteous man!....well go for it...if you got the money dude and you drive it mostly on the street...just check your ball joints/tierods occasionally...as well as your pitman arm and youll be fine.....and i totally agree about not being overly heavy on the gas and knowing your limits....good luck!

what type you looking at....tsl...tsl sx?...parnelli jones?

boosted again

it has a 4in ifs lift, and 3in body, but i have recently took off the body lift and downgraded to 34in tsl's... heres the only shot i have of the front...

toyotanick

this is mine a of now... its the black one

ryantowry_81

mine is older with a strait axle but i got 39.5x15-r15 TSL's on 8.5" rims with 1.5" spacers:



only 6" of lifk with fender trimming.

still has 4.10's and stock axles and wheels fine!! turned my 5-speed into a 3-speed but still got to 65 with the 22r with 298,000 on it!!!

also floats on the mud and snow!!! have gone around full size trucks with 44" boggers and hang with the full size trucks with tractor tires!!!!

I think it is a good setup not to top heavy (now that i took off the camper!!)

and i only put 2.8PSI on the ground in the back and 4.3 in the front. for reference the human foot is usuall 7-10 PSI and a grizzly 700 is 2.9PSI roughly!!

I have seen toys with 44" tractor tires with stock axles and never broken, just depends on how you drive and where you wheel. rock crawling 4.10's and 40's probably would not be fun but for the trails and expeditions i do they work great, and yes i want my truck to drive on the tundra!!!

i even have some military issue chains for it and those make it whicked in mud and snow!!!

i dont know of the cv strength but i would say if you can handle 37's with the way you drive the 38's wont be much different stress wise.

Alex 400

what tires are those?

toyotanick

wow thats a little wider than i was thinking of getting...

ryantowry_81

it is not as bad as it looks in that pic width wise, probably only hangs out of the fender around 4"

and i only had to put the spacers in to clear the leafs which you wont have a problem with an IFS

toyotanick

hmmm im actually wanting more like a 13.5

ryantowry_81

here is 38x12.5 a friend of mine has, his is almost as wide as mine is

38.5/15/15

Are your iroks radials? How are they on the street?

toyotanick

yeah my iroks are radials and i love them! they are soo light and i havent had any problems. my truck is mostly a street queen because i dont get the chance to go play to often, i have had them for 2 years and still have a good few months left. i get everywhere my friends with brand new 38inch tsl's does and when climbing i do it easier than him. i love them...
