Hey guys, I am new to 4runners and have many questions. I am in the market for a 96-2000 and not sure what lies ahead. I currently have a KJ jeep liberty and had all intentions of fixing it up, until I found out that I couldn't do what I wanted to do to it....(not without spending WAY too much on a jeep that was almost worn out). So here I am, contemplating buying a 4runner.
I'm not exactly sure what I want to do to it once I get it, but I'm thinking about a 3.5-4" lift, not sure about what size tires... nothing huge, but definitely big and head turning....
My first question is, in going with the big tires after a lift, is it necessary to re-gear rear-end? I'm being told by "Jeepers" that in order to go with a 265/75R16 on a Jeep Liberty, I HAVE to re-gear to 4.10 or I will be extremely unhappy, (horrible mpg, trans constantly shifting at cruising speeds, no power). That is just way too much money for me right now.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
