HI
Anybody out there have any comments/thoughts on the largest tyre size you could fit to an RFS 100 Series Cruiser without taking an angle grinder to the panels !!
Currently the truck has a 5" spring lift and this is a high as I can really go
Thanks

I assume if you have a 5" spring lift you have a 105 series, not 100 series?
Ok you got me, It is a 105, It's a petrol Auto (1FZ-FE to be exact), performance will be an issue though with bigger tyres.
Having said that my two options at the moment are changing the diff ratios which would make it OK on 35's or 36's but pretty ordinary on 33's. Option 2 would be a Turbo or super charger. This would be the most expensive option but would also be the most fun

it will go ok with 35/36's. fuel consumption will go up some but hey you didn't buy a petrol auto for fuel economy. worst effect off road will be down steep hills it will run away more - the torque converter gives you plenty of slow for rocks and things. go the 35s or 36s and see how it goes before you go nuts with diff gears.

What did it cost

I did the panhard rods myself a few months earlier so not sure about the total cost do fo it all in one, Kit was put in by Mannell Motors at Thornleigh.
Shocks are Rancho, springs are 'King Springs' , There are also 40mm spring packers in the rear.
Break lines, air lines and breathers had to be extended.
It has caster correction plates on the front but in hindsight I should have gone for smaller (less angle) plates and offest bearings for the hubs.
Rear lower trailing arms have also been upgraded (Not essential for the lift though )

I've got a 2000 model 105 petrol manual with a 2" lift, 30mm spring packers front and rear and Koni long travel shocks.
I run Simex centipede 36 x 12.5 on standard Toyota GXL rims, I had to remove the front mud flaps but other than that they don't touch anywhere.
As for diff ratios the manual has 4.3 and I've found this with the 36" tyres works great even on very steep downhills. I think yours has 4.1 and combinded with the auto trans might tend to run away a bit.
