i want to put 35" tires on my 89 yota. how many inches of lift would i need to do this? its mostly for show with a little offroading. i was thinking maybe 2" body with 2" suspension. would i need to alter a lot of things to put this lift on?  

any body?  

I would go with 4 inches of suspension. Body lifts will expose alot of your frame rails and look cheap. If you don't want to have your truck ride that high, you can also just do a 2 or 3 inch suspension and trim your fender and install Bushwacker Fender Flares which will look nice too.  

alright thanks man. how difficult is the suspension lift. do i have to change a bunch of stuff like the camber and what not? any help is rerally appreciated. this is my first truck and im doing a total restoration job myself. what lift would u use  

I would have to agree with supertaco, body lifts do make a truck look cheap. I know it's lot of work but if you think your going to do any wheeling in the future, S.A.S. with a suspension lift is the way to go. The performance gain in the suspension is worth it.  

ya i was thinkin of that but i would really just like to get all together first. i see a sas in the near future. how much would i have to re-gear in order to run good with the 35" tires on it? is the suspension lift a more dedicated process than the body? thanks again  

Stock gear ratio is 4.11, I run BFG 33 x 12.5 MT'S on my Toy with 4.88 gears and with the step up in gear and tire ratio, it is almost stock.  For 35's I would run 5.12 gears, the teeth are still thick enough your not going to have to worry about breaking them in the future and your performance won't diminish too much.
As far either lift being a more dedicated process, I would say that going with the body lift your going to have a lot more headaches, and in the end your not going to be as pleased. Think long term, if your not going to do much wheeling and it is going to just be for impressing the girls, the body lift would be fine. It's a lot cheaper, but if you do get heavier into wheeling your going to want to take it off. It will raise your center of gravity, not good.  

one day it will be a purpose built wheeler so i wanna get prepared for that. im gonna go with a suspension lift. will it affect my camber at all? what company lift is good? 4wheelparts.com seems to have a lot of good stuff. thanks again for all this info.  

also,when icahnge my gears in the rear diff, do i need to ghang them in the front? where can i purchas gears?  

Honestly, I've not done any IFS lift's before... The only advice I could give is go with a reputable company, do your homework.  As far as the sas, Marlin Crawler offers a great conversion kit as does All Pro Off-Road.  When you do anything with your gears, you MUST do it to the front and rear at the same time!  My suggestion is when you are ready take out your 3rd members, and take them to a local shop that can swap out gears. There are also a few companys you can ship your 3rd members to to have it done.  

Gears you can get a number of places. Dave's Ring and Pinion online is a well known place. I run 5.13 in mine with 38.5 thornbird and I also run 35's with it and have some awsome acceleration. Once you get your lift all together you can take it to a shop and they will do your alignment for you. If you are serious about doing axle swaps, look into a system similar to mine, I have a Dana 44 front and a Ford 9 in in the rear. You will be doing a lot of fabrication work to make everything fit. If you aren't a veteran at doing this kind of work I'd send it into a shop and let them do it. An SAS is a lot of work, but worth it in the long run.  

will a suspension lift f up my camber?  

i dont know what camber is but the suspension lift is easy to install i jus got a 5" Superlift for my 92 yota and installed it with only a few mods done and i love it im only 18 and installed it myself if that give u an idea, i like it more than a solid axle honestly  

hmm cool.  

if camber you mean if your tires lean in or out from top to bottom and toe in or out, I'm pretty sure that it won't, if it does a shop can re-allign it for you. Any kind of name brand lift you get should give you the required hardware to avoid that from happening.
