well howdy.. firstly, whats the main use gonna be? mudder or daily? you can chuck 33's on but youd soon be gutted in the first decent ruts ya hit and you bottom out.. 8-O

vice versa, you get 35's under the lifted truck and then just cruise up and down motorways all day with shite handling characteristics...

is it ifs? (independant front suspension) this would effect lifting ability/costs..

slap up a few more details.. guys will comment and give you advice.. :wink:

my 2c.. :happyjump:

Get some 31" muddies... I'm not sure what the older ones will fit, but 31" mud tyres are probably the most available and cheapest option... you might squeeze 32 or 33" tyres in but its not likely without a bit of work. Should cost you around $150/tyre or up from that for something suitable. Firestone ATX 23* are a good option in that size.

The truck is IFS front, they all were... no such thing as a factory solid axle Teranno...

Its a leaf spring rear model? I believe there are 50mm lift rear leafs available for them... and longer shocks will help it flex better. Budget around $600 for the springs and shocks for the back, and maybe replace the front shocks at the same time...

Depends how far you want to go and what you want to achieve...
