haha alright man, what i wanna do is get the cat, and then just buy 2.25" pipe from the cat to the muffler, and then i wanna do the tail pipe by buying 2.25" pipe and having it mandrel bent and then i would put it on myself. the only thing is I really dont wanna pay alot of money.

i wanna lift the truck about 9 inches . And i then i wanna get 35" baja claw tires
3" body lift
4-5" suspension lift
2.5" lift from bj spacers and t bar adjustment
3" rear blocks

I also plan on layin down some bedliner in the bed, putting a 12" sub in the rear seat cushion and laying down some reflectix mat as a heat blocker and noise damper

BackGateYota92

haha that setup will make 35's look tiny. lol i got 3" body lift and bj spacers and t-bar cranked some and fit my dads 35x13.50 baja claws easily. haha

DontStepOnMySteeze

then i might go with 36" iroks, exactly like ovrrdrive's yota

BackGateYota92

haha ya if i took my truck that high i would be running some 38x15.50's. lol i remember first getting my truck and wanting to take it that high but now i love the height of my truck and its a inexpensive way to get a good amount a lift to. haha ima throw 35x13.50's or 35x14.50's and call it a day.

DontStepOnMySteeze

yea lol but i remember reading ovrrdrive say that his 36" tires rub easily and he has 8" lift in front and 10" in the rear

BackGateYota92

dang really? i see trucks out here running 4" dropbracket kits and 3" body lift and 36" plus tires. lol

DontStepOnMySteeze

heres a yota with a 9 inch lift and 35's

BackGateYota92

ya man i love that truck. that was fav truck on the internet for a while. those are 35x14.50 or 35x16.50 boggers. lol but i think thats 7 inches though cause look how flat the cv's and control arms though. either way its a nasty truck

BackGateYota92

but when you lift your rig, you wanna start small so you can get use to things. like begin with bj spacers then add a body lift then add a bracket kit. you dont want to put all that lift on just to realize you dont like driving a lifted truck and cant handle it. it took me a while to get use to how my truck drove when i added a 3" body lift to my bj spacers. i couldnt imagine how long it would take to get use to 9-10" of lift. lol

Nice build, I started my truck when I was 14 and Just getting to painting it. When I first got it I was going to do long travel then I realized I needed it for school and work. My next plan was to put a 4" lift on it and run 33"s but my dad and some local truck junkys got me away from that. Thank god.

Imo, lifting your truck is cool but a big wast of money. You spend money on the lift then you spend money on replacing your U-Joints then the money for gas. It just isn't worth it. then with your lift the truck is less reliable.

I Kept mine stock Hight, got my self some nice meaty 31/10.50's and I plan on getting some rancho shocks but other then that and tuning the engine up there is no need to mod it.

BackGateYota92

haha ya but havin a truck way up in the sky is just awesome!!! hahaha

LIVES4CRAWLIN91

man.. low stanced is the way... im runnin maybe 4inches of lift over stock and 35's... id say sas it... wit a tg or marlin 3in set and lift the rear 3 and then u got a sexy truck that flexs well and is also skyed a tad... or maybe even go big and do the 5in kit and go for some 38s. thatd be sick.

LIVES4CRAWLIN91

and as far as a lifted truck being less reliable .... i disagree as long as its not a super tall ifs lift.. if u do things right the wear and tear is about the same as stock, and if u regear then performance is stock again with a pretty limited fuel loss. i still maintain about 16-17 in mine. so if u do wanna sky it... take some time. do it right and ull come to find out that they were built to be beat... enuff said

BackGateYota92

DontStepOnMySteeze
