Combination of exhaustion and alcohol; read words that weren't there, but I'm hoping you won't understand because you're underage and don't drink and go to bed at proper times.

no lift....... maybe a 2" body lift, but I would suggest 1" and only if you plan on lifting your drivetrain. just fit the biggest tires you can on the truck and get gears, lockers and sway bar disconnects. you will be able to do anything you want.

Hahahahaha. Yeah +1 on yotamans post. I have 32x11.50s and no rub but I also have a solidfront axle. All I care about is downward travel

Hey man I have a 92 Runner with 4" susp and 2" body I run 35" PRO COMP mudders and can rub on the pinch weld if I hit it really hard in just the wrong spot. I have 4:56 gears and think it could use a little more gear but overall it is awsome. I am gonna put a 1 1/2" ball joint lift too in about a month and a half, just so I can run some 35x14.50x15 Boggers with no rubbing. For now this is my daily driver, but once I get the boggers it goes in the garage and only out for fun in the mud.

so you think it would be a good setup for me?

will 14.5'' wide boggers fit? seems like they will rub like crazy.

My thinking is that I will hammer my pinch welds add the 1 1/2" ball joint lift and maybee 1/2 to 1" of torsion bar tweak and that gives me about 2 to 2 1/2" of lift and im only barely rubbing now so I think it might be same as now like if I turn all the way and then hit somethin hard then maybee some rubbing. But you know if thats the case I was thinking about some fiberglass fenders, they are pretty cheap. So do I think its a good set up for you I dont know but I know that with a 4" susp and a 1 1/2" ball joint lift you could run some meaty 33's or some skinny 35's and go just about anywhere. I shouldnt care so much about boggers maybee Ill check out some PittBull Rockers or somthin, the boggers have those lugs that stick out so far it just makes them so wide.

Mud tears up your vehicle.
