I am trying to determine if my 89 Toyota that I recently bought already has a lift installed on it. I've got quite a bit of wheel gap considering I am running 32x11.50x15s. Does this gap look like enough to run 33s? Does it look like a lift is installed? I know there's no body lift installed since I looked for blocks, but how can I tell if a suspension lift, and what brand might be installed? Thanks.

Show the A-arm, and the back too (leafs). The front looks higher than stock, could just be the torsion bars cranked. Is the back raised just as much? You'll be able to easily tell if there are ball joint spacers and/or shackles/add-a-leafs or tall leafs in the rear.

EDIT:
after looking at those tires they seem smaller than 33s. I realize that some 32s are actually closer to 33s and vice-versa. My 32s seem bigger. Ayone else notice this?

Yeah, those pictures aren't enough to tell. Give us a front shot, pics of the arms from the front, pics of the rear from the rear and from the side from underneath.

Does it rub at all now? Have you flexed it out on a trail? That will tell you how likely 33's are. Toyotas can be deceptive. You can get a big tire to fit and look like it fits, but then you turn the wheel or flex or turn and flex and suddenly you have rubbing.

I have a feeling that you just have cranked t-bars. To help clear 33's you can pound the fender seem (by the cab) down.

Cool looking truck.
