I'm running 235/45/17 on my 93 and it handles pretty damn well the biggest gains for handling you're going to see is definately the tires. Of course I have excellent road feel since I don't have power steering but still the tires made a huge difference. I plan on getting the belltech sway bars too so let me know how those work for you. What are you lacking in handling? Are you getting too much body roll? Backend sliding around? As for the front end cut your bump stops down that should help. Also are you running factory shocks? You could always swap in independent rear suspension like I plan to eventually.

 

i have stock les schwab shocks on it. my best friends dad had a toyota just like mine.but his was manual steering and stock heighth.it handled better.but i'm getting atot of body roll in corners and the rear end goes on me sometimes. i was also woundering can you bag your truck with the sway bars in it?

 

drop leafs are supposed to be stiffer so that would probally help the rear.

 

with the 3" drop control arms do u rub with the rims you have now or no, reason I ask is my friends 94 is drop with control arms and turn the torsions a little and it rubs when u hit a dip or turn the corner, this is on 60 series tire also, truck is pretty much slamm because the front cross member can hit reflectors on the road..if u want to stop the front from bottoming out use shorter shocks plus change your bump stops to the urethane one, and if u want a good handling yes get those beltech swaybars..

 

thanks!

thanks for everyones i'll keep you posted and post pictures soon.

 

if you still have body roll, look around at some of your front suspension bushings, they are prob all rotted and mushy

 

1-pull out your bump stops
2-get stiffer shocks
3-get a front sway bar
and ps if your dropped 3/4 and your going to get 18's with a 45 series i think your going to have rubbing issues...
