Is this enough lift?

Ok i have a 95 4WD extended cab tacoma and was thinking about putting a 5 inch tuff country lift on it, would this give enough clearance for 33x12.5 and what would it take to put 35s on it?
Thanks

It depends on what you use it for and if you are willing to trim the fenders a little. I will be running 35's with 2.5" of lift and a 1" BL very soon. That has been done on a 4Runner. I know a Taco is a little different.

hmmm it will be used for off road purposes not terribly extreme but still it will need some good clearene for the tires, as far as the fenders go i would like to avoid it if at all possible

That's plenty of lift for 33x12.50! Go for it!

Put the 5inch lift on ..... see what rubbing you have if any... Then just take some measurements to see what size BL(body lift) you need to completely clear the 35s... Thats what I did after putting 33 TSL's on my 96 Runner. Ended up putting on a 2in BL to clear everything nicely..

We were just wheeling in NM with a TTORA guy (tat2dude) that has 35's on a Taco with the Fabtech lift (no body lift). He has VERY minor rubbing on the rear of the rear wheel well at full stuff. Truck looks awesome too!
