hey i have an 1985 toyota 4x4 with 33x12.5x15x10 the tired rub what is best to do left the body or get the suspension lift and how much. the truck is going to be mad for mudding only and the springs are kinda flat should i change them not really in looking on spending much

 

3" lift would work. Suspension.. If you don't give a rip about ride quality check out the cheapies on ebay...

 

i would get an OME lift they are cheap and great. the set of 4 springs, ubolts and shackles ran me 540 shipped
Edit: i would recomend buying from these guys they were the best shop ive dealt with http://www.4by4connection.com/4runpicallle.html

 

that's high price for me i mean i'm looking for cheap but good

 

do you need lift and more travel in the suspension, or do you just want the tires to not hit the cab?

 

not an easy combination to find...

 

rough country is the way to go

 

You get what you pay for.

Cheapest would be a body lift, and that'll do you fine.

 

yeah that is what i just want where the tired does not hit the cab

 

The Blue 85 with Graphics has a 3" RoughJunk Lift clear's 33's fine. Rides like a brick.



Flexed Out.

 

Just trow in a 3" body lift. Its what your looking for, cheap, stops tire rub, wont effect ride....

 

ok i will see what i can do but if i lift it do i have too put a longer neck on the gas tank and new break lines in?

 

anyone?

 

depends on the amount of lift.
1" body lift shouldn't cause a problem- theres some slack in the brake lines (the steel lines are coiled) and the fill neck should be long enough.
2"- you're getting close to maxing out the brake lines. the fill neck will most likely not reach... it may, but it may not. you could cut the hose and put a piece of stainless pipe between the two sections in order to lengthen it, and you might have to replace the vent tube.
3"- is really pushing it. if you're carefull, you might be able to unwind the brake lines to work. the fill neck will need extended.

also...
with more than 1", you're going to run into issues with the radiator: since it's bolted to the body, the radiator will be raised and will cause issues with the fan shroud. better kits should come with drop brackets for the radiator.
you'll also have issues with the steering column. better kits should come with a new steering bearing for the firewall to help alleviate that.
there will likely also be issues with the shift linkage so you need to make sure that is addressed with the kit too.
there are also issues associated with the bumpers, and as before, better kits address that.

if your truck is a column shift automatic, don't expect to buy a kit to lift it.

 

Mine are un wound and did need to extend the fill neck. Everything works/worked (under construction now) fine and did for 5+ years....
