before you get flamed to death try the search button. there are way too many options and opinions. but i am currently running stock 1996 tacoma with stock 410 gears and get 20-21 mpg combined driving. unless you meant total mileage, just rolled 100k. check out www.toyteclifts.com


and im not trying to be a jerk, but not everyone is nice.

Also, you might want to fill out your signature with pertinent information because, for example, whether you have an auto or stick will drastically affect your gear choice.

Why do you want to lift it?

How often do you 'wheel, and what level of trails?

Pretty much everything in this thread so far is right on point.
Most important what are your reasons for lifting, Im with Tcx, as this will DRASTICALLY affect what type of lifts you should be looking at...give us all the info we'll be glad to help you out with advice and opinions...

Oh, and your going to need a flame suit, or the search button.

Sometimes it's easier to just answer someone's question...

Here's a good thread to read on what you're asking:
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...nning+IFS+only

My 4rnr's are all stock suspension and gears. 30x9.5/15 on the '86 (19-20mpg) and 31x10.5/15 on the '92 (crap=approx. 14mpg). The '92 is having some issues right now, but it was getting around 17mpg before.

Lift? I'd only lift for tire clearance, and only if I actually needed to.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but are people really getting below 20mpg when they run 32"+ tires? I run 32s on my '92 and I get 24mpg. I do have an intake and full exhaust but I don't think they would make up for the gain over you guys.

You're one hell of a mechanic then...

The window sticker on my truck when I bought it new said 17/19 on it.

Are you 2wd?

Well I put 15 gallons in it right after I bought it and drove it over 350 miles, then put 15 more gallons in it when it was on empty. 350/15=23.3333

And I'm a 4x4 with a 2" lift.
