37" tires and biggest lift?

[BlackYotaSport3]

Has anyone been able to fit 37"s on their 4Runner? If so, what lift did you go with? Thanks for the information

It can probably be done with a 6" bracket lift, but it is kinda silly mall crawler stuff :mullet::crazy:

There is a guy over on Toyota120 that is doing 37s with a +2 LT kit up front and custom setup in the rear. Havent seen any new updates though.

Probably a good reason for that.. That sounds very involved. So much cutting and custom work required. Would be cool, but a ton of work. 35s much easier and better matched to the limits of the 5th gen.

He did cut out a lot of the front. He was in the process of moving last time I talked to him. It seemed as though he got enough cut to not have any major rubbing going on.

With all the work necessary, I often wonder, why not get the proper vehicle for what you're trying to do?

Sure, if you're looking to just be the biggest 4Runner out there, then I guess it makes sense.

But if you want big ass tires on a huge lift, get a full size pickup. If you're looking to fit huge ass tires and still want to hit trails, get a jeep.

It just makes no sense.

Gah I can only imagine.. That and some crazy bump stop extensions. I'll try and post a photo tomorrow for reference purposes.

Big Mike has 40's on his '16 Tacoma. Roughly the same front suspension. The secret sauce is All Pro long travel with a relocation of the spindle forward a couple inches and a lot of fender chopping. Works well. Still running the 8" clamshell. I don't think anything has broken yet.

I'm running 37's on a 2.5" suspension lift, 1.5" body lift, and a lot of cutting and new parts. Im doing a full rebuild starting Feb to run 40's with 12" of travel and a crawler box, running 5:29 gears.

To a previous poster (mcarey86) in this thread - why would I go out a buy a "Heep" or a fullsize pickup...what horrible ideas!

Firstly, I already owned a 4R that I bought new in 2004. Why would I lose my investment in all my parts for a Jeep that has remarkable unreliability, would cost me a ton to purchase and then to modify anyway. And why the hell would I want a fullsize bro truck if I'm rock crawling and driving narrow trails? There's a reason fullsize trucks are seen rarely on trails.

I think he was saying if you want huge tires on a huge truck for pavement, get a full size truck. That makes a lot of sense. If you wanted to wheel something with 37's get a Jeep, which makes sense too.

A Jeep would be way easier to mod, you don't need to take it to RST to get custom parts made, you can buy literally anything online and bolt it on in your driveway. We're talking 4 link kits, fuel tank swaps, roll cages, complete axles, there are even engine swap kits. If you are going to replace everything on your truck anyway, and hit hard rocky trails, a Jeep is a fine place to start. From an effort and financial standpoint it makes sense if running 37's-40's or more.

But this is a conversation about 37's on 4Runners so lets not get too sidetracked.

37s

 

[mteolus]

Only need a 2.5 inch spacer lift on a JL Rubicon to fit 38s and nothing else other than flipping the bump stops. Please don't drool over the woman in this video, that would be very rude.

37s

By your logic why then would you buy ICON...35's...Body Lift...etc? Why did YOU not just go out and by a Jeep that has the suspension and bigger tires? I'm sure you have an answer to justify your build...so do we all! Don't be so narrow minded. There a lot of reasons people build stuff. Some of that relates to progression of interest/passion, money limitations, styling, knowledge, personal taste, time, connections...

I think there's a fair point to be made that a modern 4Runner is not an ideal vehicle for big tires. It can be done. But Toyota made it very expensive to do so by the way they designed it. It's the polar opposite of Jeep. Watch some Jeep interviews with the heads of their development teams. One of the requirements of the JL was 35's stock and 37's with almost no mods. That was a design criteria from day 1. Toyota's current fleet makes it very hard to do. That's one primary reason I have another vehicle that's a lot easier to modify to run 40's.

I'm all for more built 4Runners! But you've got to fight a LOT of headwinds to get to a point that other platforms make as simple as just driving to the tire shop.
