i was at a 4x4 place today and a guy with 31s pulled up next to my rig with 33s. my tires didnt seem that much bigger...could they be under inflated?

 

I would suspect it had to do more with proportions. put 33s on a grand Cherokee and they will look huge. But on a 3rd gen 4runner, with ~3" of lift, everythign is proportioned well - they look like they belong on the rig.

IMO.

 

Or in Doink's case, a 2nd Gen...

 

Hey Doink...did you post some recent pics of you rig and i just missed it or what?

 

You missed it. I looked, but I can't find the thread. Doink - a little help?

 

I have had my 33's for a while now and I think that just over time, my brain is used to them and they look small.

When I first got 31's, I thought they were huge. Now I think 35's would be about right.

I was also informed that metric Goodyear 33's are taller than my 33x12.5's

 

anyone have pics of 33s on a 3rd gen with 4 inches of lift? i'm curious to see how it looks...

 

I've got basically 3" - and 33's

 

here are some pics for you and metal22lica:

 

Doink, I meant to ask you in your thread, did you drop your rear lower control arms? It looks like it in those pics.

 

cool, thanks keisur. your truck looks so badass.

 

Thanks, still toying with that idea of a body lift. can't decide. I may still be hitting you up for those lift lips if I do. What's up with Monty tonight, he's a slow beast!

 

yeah, i beleive the kit came with a drop down bracket that was installed. i sure do like your rig..thats so nice

 

thanks, I got to get me a wilderness rack and a rear bumper like yours! I'm just afraid I won't fit in the garage anymore with more height and more length since I have my work area infront of the runner in the garage. oh, and some black wheels. didn't get them with the 33's because I was told they wouldn't fit but now I know better so in the fall I may be plopping 200+ down for a set of black 16's and a fifth 33 for the spare.

 

What about your Pro Comp's? Wana sell? If so how much are you looking to get?

 

Maybe, $400 for the set. I haven't thought about it so that's pulled out of my arse, off-hand.

 

That's a good asking price

When you get your new wheels, and are ready to sell, let me know and we can talk. BTW, do you have the center caps too?

 

you got a pm.

Yea, I just want to cover the cost of 5 black crawlers and mounting.

Yep, still have those big-azz things but I stuck a big magnet on each and I use them for parts bowls while working on the runner.

 

PC tires always look smaller. and since you are on a 8" rim, it will make it "look" smaller. my friend had a set of 35" PC MT on 15x8 rims. they looked like 33" compared to my 35" BFG MT on 15x10 rims.

 

I have noticed that as well with my 31s. Mine actually measure a little less than 30" off the truck.
