Not Sure What To Do

Hey im new here and have a 1994 4runner auto. Im want to do something suspension wise to fit 32s or possibly 33s. im on a budget of about 1300 give or take. ive looked at the OME package and some 25mm sway-a-way torsion bars, or would you suggest BJ spacers ? this is gonna mostly be for mud and some mild trails .thanks for the input

I'd go with the spacers and a short body lift. You'll really want to regear so spend as little on the supsension as you can. I have a 94 runner as well with the auto and am running 4.88's with 31's. I would regear to 5.29's to run 32's or 33's.

would i really want to gear it that low? 5.29s sound a little excessive for 32s.

yes with the auto, i would but a 2in body lift on it and run 33s, with the 5.29 gears, then later on bj spacers, and leafs, shackles, whatever floats your boat.

Yes for the Auto! I have 5:71's on 35's and a 93 Auto Runner... I would be screwed if I did not have the lowest gearing available for toyota and such large tires with all the driving I do to Moab...
