I disagree I ran 35's on my truck for an entire year before I did my sas, and for all intents and purposes It was a great thing to do. 35" tires is definitely about as much as you can stuff into a minitruck without big suspension modification, but they will get you through quite a bit.

Yes, you can fit 35"s but how often do you want to be swapping out all the busted front end bits? I thought this was figured out years ago. There must be a reason why you now have a sas.
Those were my thoughts, I am not a 16 year old with Daddies truck showing my buddies how funny it is to jump it... I agree with breaking comes down to how and where you wheel. I pick my lines well when there is a line to choose though North Dakota doesn't have rocks for me to climb on so they are out but I do a wheel every week in the winter. I wish I was still living in Washington where I an SAS first thing but I plan on being here another 3-5 years and an SAS won't be a necessity until I see rocks again. Plus I want to spend time with ifs because I do believe it requires you to be find better lines, plus if I had a solid front axle the things I see here in Grand Forks wouldn't even be fun it would make wheeling too easy.
Oh and toytecs aal are longer ones, I have no reverse arcing, I'll take a picture so you can see my aal the shorter ones are where you run into stiffer ride and reverse arcing like showed previously in this thread.
Um maybe it was sorted out, but my .02 weren't a part of it. I never had to change out a damn thing in my front end. Least not till i cut it all out. But it all worked perfectly good when i started cutting.
Dono why you think something must have been wrong for me to sas my truck. There was a perfectly good reason for me to sas my truck. I had gotten to a point where my vehicles suspension system was limiting the things I could yet wanted to do.
All I did was keep up on general maintenance with the front end stuff. Replaced a couple tie rod ends when they wore out, but this was stuff I had to do all along. And to be honest there were stints of time where I didn't pay much attention to general maintenance, and still nothing broke. Wish I had tossed 35's under there from the get go.
I think that anyone who has seen me wheel my truck off road could attest to the strength of these ifs parts. You just gotta be ok with a little fender rubbing at stuff and turn, and things work great.
And thats why I want to do it because I believe in the quality of the ifs parts. Plus why spend money on an SAS when I don't yet need it. It will also be a bonus to show and document that it is ok to do with out spending too much money on replacing front end parts. And from working at a shop there is always going to be routine maintenance whether it be IFS or a SFA.

Hey bud, I got my 2" lift kit from Toytec and just finished installing today, ball joint adapters, AAL's and new pro comp shocks. I also installed low profile bump stops only for the upper wheel travel as you recommended.
The kit came with an adapter - "BPV-K" is that for the brake proportioning valve? Anyone have a pic of it installed?
Thanks
BTW: I'll post pics as soon as I get my new wheels & tires which should be hopefully on Tuesday.

I actually didn't get the BPV-K but yeah that is the brake proportioning valve. I don't believe it is required for the pre-tacoma trucks but I could be wrong. Awesome though, I think you will enjoy the lift. Looking forward to the pics with the lift and wheels and tires. I myself can't wait to get a new set of shoes for the lil yota.
Oh one more thing you can do is remove your sway bar, you barely notice a difference and you get more flex.

Yes, the sway bar has been removed! Now I need to remove this air dam in the front so it doesn't cut up my new pretty tires..
Yeah awesome...You gotta post up some pics with your new tires. I have some cutting to do in the next few weeks to fit my new shoes, Ill keep you posted.

nice! what size shoes did ya get her? You running 4.10's?
I am actually going to get 35's and regear to 5.29's and cut what rubs. 33's are manageable but for some reason I keep talking myself into 35's. Just something I want to do. I'll let you know what it looks like when its all done. but I am going with KM2's

i am sure you will be fine, there are tons of guys running 33's and stock gearing. you will probably not use 5th but with my 31s i get better mileage in 4th anyway so let me know how you like it and Get some Pics with your lift, and with your tires, want to see how yours sits compared to mine!
