33's or 35's ?
Well I bought my 85 runner with a worn out three inch lift and some decent 33 inch swampers and 456 gears....My problem is I just installed some allpro front springs and they claim 4 inches but with the shackle and new springs it looks like a 6 inch lift in the front so I added shackles in the rear and now I have pretty good gaps between the tires and wheelwells, anyways my buddys has some sweet 35 inch claws for sell and I was wondering what you guys would do keep the truck with 33's or go for the 35's? If I go with the 35's would I have to change my gears to 488 or 529's? that would be a factor.

Ya maybe I will just run the 33's to the ground first cause someone on this site said allpro's springs tend to sag....My truck looks like a prerunner still even though I have the ty 3 inch blocks and homemade extented shackles I guess my next modd will have to be that 63 inch chevy spring swap or just spend the money for allpro rear springs.

As my truck sit's right now I can reach 75 mph and hold it there pretty good u-know unless a hill slow's me down but 456 gears 300+ thousand miles 33 inch tires I'm pretty impressed by the truck and the gas mileage is close to 20 on flat ground doing 65-70 mph...compared to my K-5 blazer which didn't ever see 10 mpg but as for the picture my camera is broke so maybe I will pick one up this weekend before my project is not a project anymore.
