what size of tire for my yota

I have a 88 pickup with a 3"body lift and a 4" suspension lift and shackles I have 35" on there now. And I got plenty of room. So I was wondering if it was possible to go up to 37s any thoughts?

If you got the room then yes, but unless you got the gears you won't have much power.

That's what I'm asking does anyone know if I'll have the room for them or not. I have 4.10 gears now putting 5.29s in it here after a while

I think you should go with 28's...it's all the rage these days.

A tape measure, your truck, the dimensions of tires on your truck, and the dimensions of new tires you'd like to add will give you your answers.

Sorry for not helping more, but with lifts, wheel spacers, body trimming, etc, there's too many combos to answer...

Might wanna stick with 35s if your putting 529s in it. you should be able to clear 38s I think, might have to bang the pinch weld .all the trucks I see down here on 38s have 8-12" of lift total if I remember right.

Ive Never done it on a truck but on four wheelers I'd always compress the suspension as far as it would go then measure to the points cloest to the current tire (turning the handlebars straight on and maxed to each side) and then figure out how much more space the larger tire would take up

First you have 7" lift, then it grew overnight to 10" which is a real odd # for lift. I'd like to see a picture of this beast.

Leave it on 35s till you get some more lift, you got the right lift to look perfect on 35s so it'd look goofy imo on 38s

With that much lift you could almost clear 44s stock gears might be good too...

Seriously though - you're still rocking ifs. The issue isn't what tire will fit in the wheel well, it's more of what size tire is the limits for my IFS if I want to make it 100ft down the trail before a repair? Gotta remember that that huge rubber (even 35s) are going to heavily tax the front end and you'll be going through CVs, idler arms, possibly tie rods and other steering components, then you gotta be able to stop that extra rolling mass safely, etc etc.

He doesn't care about this. He's already running 10 inches of lift, er I mean 9 inches, that a gust of wind could topple him over. He has bigger issues to worry about.
