4" Suspension 3" Body lift, what size tires
Alright, I apologize in advance for asking another "what size tire..." question,but I kinda need to know the answer. I've got a 4" rough country suspension lift and I plan on doing a 3" body lift soon. Me and my buddy made a day out of doing a some torsion bar tweaking,etc and long story short, a 2" rear shackle kit made the thing sit about level. The CV angles are where I want them, and all is good on that end. I've got some crazy offset wheels that make 33x12.50 tires stick out about 3 inches if not more. So, I'm wanting to clear a 36x12.50R15 TSL Swamper and I'm wondering if 8-9" of lift will be enough.

Uhm, why not cutting abit from the body and put fender flares?
I have a 3" lift on body, and 4" on chassis (longer coils) and I can fit 44s..
With IFS you can run 38s pretty well on 2" on body and 1" on chassis..
But that's just my 2 cents...

38's for the street and 36's for wheeling. Put the tires on first then decide how much body lift you need to clear them when flexed. You may get away with 2" - every little bit you save lowers your center of gravity.

Traction is absolutely amazing. They are the best offroad tire I've ever owned for the terrain I go in down here (which is basically hard pack, sand and mud).
Thanks.
The angle of the pic hides the faded paint on the hood and roof.
The rims are Mickey Thompson Classic Locks in 15x10 with 3.5" backspace. If you do a bracket lift you have to run less that 3.75" BS or the steering knuckles will hit the tire. 3.5" BS gives plenty of room.

bracket lift, would be a 6" fabtech on a tacoma, or the 6" trailmaster, etc. It drops the diff five inches and maintains the stock geometry of the upper and lower a arms. I'm not familiar with the bracket lifts on the 86-95 pickups, i suppose it would be the procomp 4" kit.

The Rough Country is a bracket lift. The 4" suspension and 3" BL will be enough for 35's. Just make sure you have the proper backspacing for your wheels as Ovrrdrive mentioned.
I'm running 37x12.50 SSR's on 15x10 Centerline Hellcats with 4" Pro-Comp stage 2 and 3" BL.

I forgot about the rough country lift. I might get that for my 91 and throw a 3" body lift on as well. I will only use 35s though. I want a set of 35s so i can use on my 91 and tacoma.
