33"

And a transfer box with custom gearing

Plus recommend fitting extended front and rear bump stops.
Would just run 31in tyres until you get your axles sorted.
What you goin for toyota axles.

Wanna bet I can't fit 33's with 3" lift?

Not my first time modifying trucks... Sammy t-case is also on it's way, so naturally I'm gonna run 6.5 gears. And yeah, I'll put some Lj axles and radius arms on it when I have time.

You can fit 33 s with just 3in lift but it will be shit, will catch on body and the amount you
Need to trim off its easy fitting bodylift .bin there.
Cheap way would be to fit 3in with spacers and bodylift..

First of all, I hate to lift up my trucks c.o.g unnecessarily with bodylift, because all that gives me is some room for the tires, and that room can be also cleared by using some simple tools like an angle grinder and hammer! A little bit of cutting(not trimming :laugh: ) the arches will make 33's fit no problem on 3" spring lift...

Second thing is that where I live it's not allowed to do bodylifts on trucks lighter than 1500kg...

I lifted my Jimny yesterday with 3" jimnybits kit, and today I fitted my SJ's 33s under the truck! It was easier than I thought, and a lot easier than fitting same tires on SJ...

It was mainly just trimming the plastic parts, and needed only some minor grinding of the body to make room for the front tires. I think the 3" kit lifted more like 4" when I measured before and after(hopefully it drops a little after a while), and I think I could even lower the truck some, because it's a little too high for my liking. I should have gone with the 2" lift... :dry:

I might post some pics tomorrow after I see how it looks with 10" wheels(tires are now mounted on 8" wheels), but it seems to be working just fine the way it is now. No rubbing anywhere. I haven't tried to go offroad yet, and I'm not planning on doing so with the stock axles, but I have to test how it flex to see if I get the tires to rub somewhere... :whistle:

I promised to show you guys a picture of my truck, so here you go! Those are the 8" wide wheels. I tried one tire on a 10" wheel, and if I'm gonna use them, I need to hammer slightly more room for the fronts, but that's easy. Why I don't have them under the truck yet is because someone had drilled too big valve holes into three of them(probably to use tubes), so I need to source me some bigger valves in order to use those wheels... But this is how it looks so far.

EDIT: I have no idea why I can't get the pic show up on here, but here's a link...
PICTURE DELETED

Still need to trim the arches a little to make the edges better, because I apparently didn't have steady enough hands when I cut those! :laugh:
