I have a 1983 Toyota and want to put a 5" skyjacker lift on it I found. It looks like it is a two part kit but I'm not 100% sure. Im going to link the kit parts and hope someone can tell me if that what I need and if there are any other parts I need with the kits. Thanks.

Hard to tell, but the first kit picture looks all wrong for an '83 (leaf spring, solid front axle). Looks like it might be a coil-sprung Jeep kit:



Second kit looks like a rear block lift kit.

 

Oh ok thanks. I may just get a 3" body lift instead since its cheaper. I dont know a lot about lifting a truck as you can tell lol. Here is the body lift I found.

Now if I get a body lift how necessary is this?

Link doesn't work. I think you should do more reading on lifts before you buy a kit.

Whats the end goal with this truck? What size tire / type of wheeling do you do?

 

Well I think now I have decided on a 3" suspension lift by Rough Country. It has all new leaf springs and shocks (and a place here will put the lift on for $750. price of the lift included.). But I will mainly just use it for a little trail riding, nothing serious/hardcore. Maybe a little mudding here and there too.

 

Sounds like a good fit then! Glad you could get it worked out.

 

And my tire size will be 33x10.5R15 on a 15x8 wheel. Any recommendations on a good tire?

 

depends on what you want to do. If youre not too serious about taking it of the pavement then go with an a/t. The BFG a/t is very popular, and you can get them retreaded for about $100 a tire here:

Ok cool. also here is a pic of the truck I have. Any good way to fix the rust on the bed or should I just buy a new bed like a fiberglass one?

 

Cool rig! ive always loved the look of those steelies. Any more pics of that front bumper?

 

Here a few more of the front bumper and one of the inside. The inside is still in good shape but I don't know how much of the stuff works.

 

Thats a beefy bumper. Does the winch work? Thats a legendary winch. That thing is gonna look good with the 3 inches. What size tires you plan on running?

 

Yes the winch works as far as I know. Someone else was telling me that was a very good winch. Something about the gears or something. But idk much about it. I plan on running 33's.
