lift question

Hey everyone I have a quick question. And yes I looked and looked for the answer on here and did not find it.

I want to lift my stock 90 truck so i can fit some 33's on so I can do a few more trails.. So how much of a lift do i need to buy? I think it's a 2 1/2 inch lift. I need but I just wanted to double check.

Not much, I got creative with a hammer, saw, and wrench on the torque rods to run them on my stock, when my truck was stock.

@muddpigg I want to keep the stock look of the body so I don't want to cut and chop.

If you are planning on running that setup offroad your body won't keep the stock look long.

Relax in time that will change too:-) It starts with a few body pieces here and there and well I'm not sure where it ends. Oh well.

i'm runnin 35's with a 3 inch body lift with just a little bit of hammering. 2 inch would probably work for 33's

I have 31's on my stock 94 that don't rub at all i could clear and run 35's on my 95 4runner with a 4 inch lift so i would say 2 inches will do ya just fine.

Depends on your tire and rim package as well as lift but 2" of lift will clear 33" tire.

Try here:

I would get a locker before going up another tire size. Youll notice that over larger tires.

And if its a 90, I fit 33X12.5 on my stock truck with only hammering the pinch weld down. Didnt rub at all. Pic below from back in the day.
