Hey guys,

I just got an account because i really need some advice, and i heard this was the place for anything toyota. i have a 1994 toyota pickup. its a regular cab, stick, and its on 31s. everything is stock. but i want to get 33 mud terrains.

what is the easiest and cheapest way to do this. im hoping without a suspension lift. im pretty sure that if i got a 3 inch body lift it would be good, but im worried about the tires rubbing when they are angled inside.

but i have also heard that 33s arent even fun without re gearing. advice?

Thanks alot,

Will

 

Well my truck has 1in body lift, bj spacers, and longer shackles in the rear and my 33/12.5 rub a bit when the wheel is cranked at low speeds.

I have stock gear currently and the truck is pretty slow, of course I'm at 7,000ft so that has a lot of impact on the power. If you're at sea level I think 33's and stock gearing would be much more acceptable.

 

I have seen others with your body style put 33 10.5 15's on with no lift at all. NOT 33 12.5 15's. Pretty much if you have a 22RE or 3VZE you are going to lose alot of torque. RE-gearing fixes that.

 

Yeah, if you want. You can run a skinny 33" tire with no lift at all

But, if you want to run a wide tire, you will need a little lift. A 2-3" body lift would be plenty of room, provided you used either your stock rims. Or rims that had the same (or close, im talking 4-4.75") of backspacing. The tires sticking out really kills clearance (like im running).

What engine do you have? If you have a v6 and say 4.56 gears, it won't be an issue. If you have a 22re or 4.10 gears, it might be wise to re-gear to 4.88.

Try to find a 1992-1995 toyota pickup/4runner that came with an automatic and the big tire package (from the factory!) aka 31" tires. You can get factory 4.88 gearsets from it. I got a front and rear diff from a 93 for like 300 bucks. Then sold my old gears for 250

 

I just got 33-12.50's on my 4Runner with stock gearing, and cranked t bars, and 1" body lift. I get rubbing when I stuff the tires in the fenders, but not too severe. Power loss is acceptable, for now. MPG loss is horrible. I found out for sure that the people on YT are not exaggerating at all when they say they get 14-15MPG with 33's. I'm hoping for 16 on this fill up.

 

For a 22RE, I'd install 33x10.5 tires regear to 5.29 (if you drive mostly in the city or on hills) or 4.88 (if you live in a flat area and drive lots of highway miles). No lift required apparently.

Then go brace your idler arm.

 

My '91 has said "big tire package" but I have a 5 speed, so do I still have the 4.10's?

p.s. not trying to thread jack

 

I wanna put a two inch body lift and 31' tires on it but i'm concerned about how slow it'll cause the truck to be... Any advice?

 

Thanks this thread answered my questions
