My Taco was regeared (with used gears) for about a grand. I put in a locker in the rear, though, and that cost more. If you don't have a locker, at least get one for the rear.
To push that large of tire, you're going to need 5.29s.

dang... If I had a 3" body, raise the drivetrain I'd 2 or 3" and install BJ spacers...
I'd get some functionality out of an otherwise useless "lift"...

Doesn't the 22re have something like 130hp? You definitely want 5.29s for 35 and up. And the further you go above 35", the more you're going to need to do to that engine to gain some extra power.
Also, those gear charts are only half the truth. Matching original rpms to what you would get with different gears doesn't really work. You'll be pushing heavier, wider tires on the same, tired little engine. At 36" try adding a few hundred rpms to the original to be able to make it over hills on the highway.
Now if you dropped a new engine in there...

Once again I find myself telling somebody who's eyes are bigger than their stomachs their little 112hp, 129 ft/lb torque motor will not like 44's...
Gearing corrects for diameter, but what you don't realize is, a 38" tire weighs nowhere near that of a stock 28" tire...
So take the difference and x that by 4. You're motor will HATE you for making it do this.
Not to mention your trucks new profile and the bigger hole it'll be plowing through the air.
The 22R is not a hp or torque motor... It's made to go 300,000 miles.
Power or longevity. Generally speaking, you can't have both. Especially in 1988.

take it from someone running 35s on a stock 22re with 4.10s as a daily driver, regear. although its not as bad as everyone on here thanks it is. its very doable. you get crappy mileage, and not much power, but its doable. having a rebuilt motor helps to

i wouldn't get a ifs lift unless it was used and being sold for cheap. if your set on a ifs lift then why get skyjacker? the skyjacker iirc is a lil over 1000 bucks. a rough country is only 600 and is the same thing

don't blow things out of proportion.

theres a guy on here with a big black ext cab 3rd gen pickup...running the 4" ifs lift, and a 3" body lift..on 38's...pretty sure he is 22RE..but he has 5.29's. he runs it all the time..and is now doing an SAS on it (when he has the time).
you'll find out it won't be fun to run 36's on a 22re lol..now if ya had sayyy....a 350 under the hood? sure..it'd love em..and you could regulate the power so ya don't start blowin axles lmao

38's, 44's... What's the difference?
And I wouldn't blow things out of proportions if somebody'd edit a post so I can see it...

I wouldn't even try to run 38s on a 22re with 529s. I'm thinking about a sas with 529s and 37s, and that is on my Taco 4 cylinder. Even then it has me a little worried about power on the highways.
Sure, you can run 38s on 456 gears and never get out of third, but it just isn't the smartest way of doing things. You have to know the limitations of the parts you're working with.
