Some guy had built a custom tube IFS bracket and had 40's on a 2nd gen. It was pretty ridiculous, but I'm sure the same could be applied to a 3rd gen if you had lots of money and no fear of dying/breaking stuff.

I think there are a few guys on here who are running 35" tires with IFS. The only reason I went with 37" tires is for clearance. With 37" tires, one would air down to the height of a 35" tires, a 33" tire would air down to approximately a 33" tire, and so on.

CleanSr5, thanks for the kind thoughts. This 4Runner has certainly exceeded my expectations. For other people who have Limiteds, I'm working on a solution for the Speedometer fix. This will make it easier for other Limited 3rd gen folks to do a SAS and keep their speedo working.

Nice, sorry to hijack but real quick, how much did the swap cost you when it was all said and done?

Belive it or not, I have not totaled up my expenses......terrible.
Recently when I started to look over my expenses, I figured about 4-5k. This cost was of course off set by selling of old parts.

As for time. Between working full time, school and working on this project, it took 4 months and 1 week to get it rolling again. I'm still doing some small tweaks here and there. I recently put on some 12" Fox shocks, instead of the 14" SAWs, and the ride has improved a great deal. Since I using my rig as a daily driver on a 85 mile commute, I also just picked up some BFG/AT 35x12.50x15 tires for the street. This rigs seems to be in a constant state of flux. I'm always looking for small ways to improve it, such as the extended (removable) steps I just put on. So, it is really ever done...... not really. sorry for the lame answer, but its the truth. As I stated earlier, I'm working on a speedo fix for the Limited crowd who want to do a SAS.
