           I WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE ON A BODY FOR MY TOYOTA. IT IS AN 87 TOYOTA 4-WHEEL DRIVE, WITH 33 IN. TIRES. I WOULD LIKE TO GO A LITTLE HIGHER UP THAN WHAT IT NOW!!!  I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE SUSP. LIFT IT HAS ON IT NOW.  I WAS HOPING I COULD RUN 35'' TIRES ON IT WITHOUT CHANGING THE GEARS!!  COULD I GET AWAY WITH THE 35" TIRES OR SHOULD I STAY WITH THE 33" TIRES?
                                                               THANKS  FOR THE HELP,
                                                                          MICHAEL

	Youre going to want gears if youre planning on running 35s. If you decide to do a bodylift or get bigger tires, give me a call and i'll see what i can hook you up with. ~Mo

	IMO i wouldnt run a 3" body lift... i saw a jeep involved in a small fender bender that ended up totaling the jeep because it rolled off of the pucks rippin the bolts and wires out... but this is just my opinion... some think other wise

	Depends on how comfortable you are with the 33's and whether or not they limit your driving abilities offroad. Just remember you gotta learn to crawl before you can walk and run. If you do the body lift, don't go bigger than a 2" and definitely regear the axles (something in the lines of a 4.88, 5.13, or 5.29 depending on how much it sees the street and how much it sees offroad). Of course if you wanna keep that center of gravity low AND get bigger tires you can always trim the fenders.

	35's on the toyota stock IFS front end will result in failed idler arm assy, busted CV joints, and eventually a grenaded diff......if you use it much offroad. On the street, it will survive, but you probably will need an idler arm truss.
