    4.88's or 5.29's for your Tacoma?

    I too am trying to decide what gears I should go with. Right now I'm running about 350lbs of armor on the truck with 33 inch tires. Eventually I will probably add a steel rear high clearance and possibly 34's or 35's, but that's not happening anytime soon. I also live in Denver and drive into...

    Thanks! So far I'm liking it, I think it rides a little softer than stock but I believe that is due to the armor that I have on it. I'm really enjoying the amount of travel I have in the rear right now, I have at least two more inches in travel than stock.

    I was really considering that same setup, however after seeing the weight savings I decided I would just go full steel.
