Topic: tires on ifs

[superyota]

i just got my 90 4runner with a 3.0 up and running.  it has 5.29's(detroit rear/open front), 4in. lift(trailmaster) with a 3in. body lift.  its going to be my daily driver.  i also have an 85 that i currently have 37's on.  i was thinking of pulling the 37's off my 85 so i can get 39's for it and have 37's for the 4runner .  i'm planning on a sas for it in the near future, but want to make sure that in the mean time i don't dump a bunch of money into the ifs becasue the 37's will be breaking idler arms and what not.  its not going to be going on any trails until the sas done.  what do you guys think, will ifs on the road hold up to 37's for a few months?

Why wouldnt it, if youre not using the 4wd?

I think he's concerned with the idler arm failing which could happen even on road. Do you know if the idler arm was one of the recalls? If it was one you should be good to go, if not get the brace, cheap insurance that you won't lose control.

no idea.  i'll definitley look into it.  idler arm, ball joints, i don't know what else could be a week point on ifs.

it should hold up so long as you dont wheel it till the sas

Even wheeling it, it'd be fine if you are gentle.    I wheeled mine with pretty much the same set up for a while, before I dropped to 35"s.  I actually broke more on 35"s than I did on 37"s

i have a 93 on 35's for 8 years and havent broken anything. its my dd and work truck pulling truck and off road-hunting truck. just dont jump it and drive with a little sense and you will be fine.i have put two ball joints and 2 tie rods in in that time from just wear and regular use i am running 36x14.50 now and it still holds up great. i have used the four wheel drive when it gets deep and to pull fullsize rigs outand the beach.
