    I would seriously look into doing a solid axle swap if your gonna go bigger than 35's. The IFS up front really cant handle much more after 35 inches.

    You could easily swap in some chevy 1500 63 inch leafs in the back, then do the solid front axle swap (SAS) and use the rear toyota leafs up front. Alot of work but you will rock the 39's and have a near unstoppable machine imho.

    Welcome to UY!
    Beautiful looking 4Runner you have there.
    Can't wait to get a 1st gen myself.

    CJM is right, if you want to do anything bigger then a 35, a solid axle swap is necessary.

    How ever with the right leaf and shackle combo in the back, and some ball joint spacers a little cranking of the front torsion bars you can fit 35s on there, possible have to do a little trimming as well.

    Do you well a lot?
    IF you do and considering most of Florida's terrain I see where you would want such a Tall tire...
