08 hilux lift question
Moderators: toaddog, Elmo, DUDELUX
I run a 3" lift with a "biggish" 33" tyre being the 285/75x16 Silverston MT117 Sport.
You will need to run a 16x8 rim with a zero offset to clear the UCA and you will need to trim the rear of the guard/flare/guard liner and bottom corner of the quarter panel.
When getting an alignment after suspension lift, ask them to move the axle as much forward as possible within factory specs.
After doing the suspension lift, the axle will pull backwards towards the rear of the guard and your tyre will hit the bodymount at the rear of the guard......just drive very carefully till it gets alignment done.
Ideally the MTZ is best suited as it is a norrower 285 being 11.2 wide instead of my almost 12 inches wide.

great forum full of up to date info on mods and tech stuff for new hilux.
By the way, almost forgot...you will not need the 1" diff drop kit..it is a waste regardless of what anyone else says. the blocks are 1" but because you cannot lower the rear diff mount it rolls the diff forwards giving you only half an inch if that at best, so really your loosing half an inch under diff clearance by fitting them....might as well run 32's if thats the case.
