Will 34in tires fit with 3in lift?

I have a 85 pickup and need some new mud tires as my buckshot maxxis mudders dont cut it.They are 235x75x15 and my truck towers over them a good bit.I have 3in blocks in back and extra leafs in the front for my lift.So the question will the 34X9.50X15 tires fit?

Also one more question how will I pull the 34in tires with stock 4:10s and 22r?

Thanks for any help.

Yes.

Yes, you can run them with stock gears but 4.88's will be better.

NO! only 33's or 35's. NEVER put 34's on a Toyota if you are north of the equator unless you are east of the prime meridian before Labor Day.

going from stock tires to anything over 32" will give you the feeling you're driving a dump truck. but you can drive 'em for sure. tip: freshen up your gear oil throughout the drivetrain. you'll be running all the internals at different rpms, so the gears will appreciate it.

i've been running 33's with my 22re and 4.10s for a year, and i just swapped in factory 4.88s from a 90s 4runner. they've made a HUGE difference. the power band is definitely in a better place. i can now accelerate up hills and maintain 80 on the interstates. i believe the axle code for the direct swap of 4.88 gears is G145.

you may still need to hammer your pinch welds inside the fenders, depending on how much clearance those leafs are giving ya

there's an encyclopedia of discussion in this website already on this subject. spend the day looking through and you'll find a lot of good stuff about backspacing for your wheels, gear options, etc. if you can't find it with the search bar above, use google to search with yotatech as one of the search words.

if you need just a little more lift, 4crawler is your source for a body lift as short as 1". i put in his 1" lift when i replaced the body mounts with urethanes. it adds just enough and is very easy to do in about an hour if you presoak the hardware with some penetrant a couple times over the day before.
