I just put in a 2" rear body lift. I want to upgrade tires. It sounds like 175/75/14 is stock height max ( about 23 inches ) . I'm thinking about 175/80/13 ( 24 inches ). Basically will 24" tires fit in the front without a lift? Because I'm assuming with the 2" lift in the rear I should be ok with 24" .

offtopic: You got some pictures of your lift? I'm planning on lifting the Justy 2" myself.

I will when I get my tires : ) hopefully getting them today.
Rear lift was so easy as long as you can get 10mmx1.25 tread , 140mm+ bolts super hard to find. Had to get 10mm tread stick and weld a head.

No. Just the rear. I plan on getting new struts soon. So ill space those another 2 giving me 2 extra in the front. 4 in the rear. Ill probably upgrade t some 14" or 15" wheels at that point.maybe then i can get some really nice rubber under her... crossing my fingers i dont have to cut!
Ill keep to board posted

By the way.. i found a company that carries up to 140mm 10mx1.25 bolts grade 10. Perfect for a 2 lift. " Tacoma screw " . I'm in pdx . But i think they are all over the northwest.

I run 185/65R14's on Steelies with 1" hub spacers. I have no lift, only cut fenders My front and rear diff now sit at 9.4" clearance rear, 9.2" front.

I have no type of lift at all , I am solely running the larger tires with the spacers to offset the wheels away from the body. I have my rear fender wells cut out from some metal cancer

how did you lift the back up Simple... ok get 2 , 2hx3w body spacers and 2, 140mmx 10mx1.25 bolts( hard to find!) also get 4, 2x2 spacers for your real diff. And 4, 80x 10mx1.25 bolts ( much easier to find than the 140 mm, my local home depot. Carriers these ( though not strong enough! Need grade 8 bolts or better! )) Jack stand the body, put a jack under the rear diff. Undue the 2 rear body mounts ( one big bolt on each side in front of the rear wheels ( under your car. Cylinder looking things) . Undue The 4 diff bolts (4 bolts holding the rear diff to the body) . Undue Rear sway bar. Rear struts And also undue the things that keep your Wheel attached to the front ( 3 bolts on each Side attaching a plate and bar to rear hub assembly). All should now be un attached. Lower diff. Place spacers and new bolts. Same with body mounts. Everything else went back into place easily! Body mount's took some elbow grease to get shimed but ended up fine. I keep on the boards as best i can... ask away
