Hey guys I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4 Cylinder. I have 6.5 inchs of lift on it and currently have 285/75/16 tires on there. They look really small though on my truck so I am deciding wheather or not to go with a 36 inch tire or 35 inch tire with black rims. The only thing im worried about is if it is going to effect my engine and transmission in any bad way. I do believe they will clear on 6.5 inchs of lift but want to know other peoples opinion. I thank you for your time.

What is your lift set up? And you only need to post 1 thread for a question

 

[pgrah1986]

Hey man sorry about that triple post my computer froze up. I have 4 inch body and 2.5 inch suspension lift

 

[megadeth600606]

4 inch body? damn.... Hey, you got any pics bro? I relaly would like to see your truck. I have 33s and dropped my truck off tonight to get the 3'' lift installed ontop of the 3 in BL. I want to know what it looks like.

 

[pgrah1986]

Yea man I do they it is attached to this message. Will 36 inch tires fit with no problem with engine

A regear would help for those tires, 4.88, that should bring it close to stock, im not 100% sure, more guys will chime in with that big of a tire shortly...

x2 on gears... it won't feel so gutless that way....

 

[George4drV6]

33" is as tall as you should go with out a re gear.

But first lose the body lift and do a drop bracket lift, then your exhaust wont hang a foot lower than the bed.

 

[megadeth600606]

The tires will fit, but don't expect to take that thing offroad. It will rub the wheel wells so bad. But if its a street queen, go for it; it'll look sick. Yes and I would definately say regear, especially with the 4.

It amazes me that these little tiny Toyota drivetrain parts hold up to tires bigger than 32" , but they do.(for how long I don't know) Most definetely will need a re-gear, unless you plan on going down the freeway in 3rd gear at 900 rpm. I do have to admit, Toyotas surprise me sometimes. If my comments offend anyone, sorry, just feeling a little ****y at the moment. :evil:

These 'tiny little Toyota drivetrain parts' are good for an eleven second quarter mile. :waytogo:

This will help you with your gear setup.

Ok guys thanks for the reply. How much exactly is a regear to 4.88 ?

 

[Trtle]

i think your truck looks good the way it is. my 2 cents. i want 31 inchers on my six inch lift but i plan on doing mild offroading.

 

[yeahi]

yeah your truck looks good how it is:waytogo: but if your going to 35"

Ok guys thanks for the reply. How much exactly is a regear to 4.88 ?

with a 4cyl id gear to 5.29s.

 

[My6AteUr8]

4.88 gears are a must for 35's or bigger...especially with just a I-4. I might even go with 5.29 with a 4 banger. 35's will fit under 6.5" of lift. You can fit a 36 or 37 but it will rub and you won't have any wheel travel at all. If you really want to go bigger than 35's, I would go with a 6" Fabtech with a 3" coil spacer. You can run 37's like that.

 

[Cruzito721671]

5.29s for off-road... 4.88s for street/highway use... ive got the fabtech 6in + 4.88s and it does pretty well... still boggs down on big hills but what else can you expect from a 4cyl w/big tires:shrug: :lol: :evil:
