Trailmaster 6" Lift Kit (POLL)

lol what is near stock then?

 

.

 

What is your shop do? If its suspension I will make sure to avoid it. Get yourself a good 3" lift that'll actually function not like procrap.

 

Well just so you know this is what i Ordered as of right now.

Method wheels 18x9 w/ the correct backspacing... I dont think these are considered a Bling Wheel. The look great on tacoma's and thats y i bought them.

Also i ordered 4-Mickey-Thompson-Baja-MTZ-Radial-Tires-325-60R18 tires.

This is y i want a 6" lift, there is another guy on here with the same tire on a 3" lift but i dont feel it would allow for alot of movement with out hitting a fender, liner etc.

 

I customize in Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8/9/10s. I made a business out of them and at 21 years old its been great. I learned the Trade and started the business on my own.

This is my personal Car

698 Whp



And My 1999 JDM Evolution 6 (Imported from Poland)

 

You know i was looking into longtravel but honestly in this (Chicago land area) it would be pointless IMO. We dont have really anywhere to go where it would be usefull.


Y are all you soo against a 6"?

LIke i said really looking for advice here.

 

Well then ill never bring my tacoma to you, but if i ever get an evo the story will be different.


And the issue with the 6inch lifts named, their generic, generally with the point of jacking it high opposed to functionality. I mean if all you want is lift, then go for it. But anyone who knows anything about it, will view it as a waste.

It throws out the geometry and is for looks, and previously mentioned not functionality.

Thats why most members run a mild 3" lift, as it severly increases the suspension travel, and performance. Anything more, members go long travel.




TL/DR, the 6" lifts as previous mentioned are for bros looking for skyjacking their trucks, not performance.

 

hmm well with the 325 tire, is there a 3" kit or 4.5 kit you recommend.

I focus my business on cars, but tacoma's is something im getting into. When i first bought my evo i knew nothing of it, but 2 years later im one of the best on the Evolution form. Time will tell, i have my own path on the business but time will tell.


soo everyone is recommending just go with a 3" kit.

I think i may just do it then, i know some trimming will be involved which will be easy but looks like i gotta spend a little time looking for the right kit i want.

 

Have you looked into All-pro's LT kit? Sounds like it would fit the bill. It's geard more toward rock crawling and things of that nature, not as wide as Camburg or TC.

 

I don't know how you are going to fit your 35"s with just a 3" lift. I cant think of anyone on here who has a 2nd gen with a 3" lift and 35's. I wont say its impossible, but i have yet to see it. I mean most guys rub with 33" tires and 3" lift before any trimming. I know i did with that setup.

Not in any order, 3 of my favorite trucks and nice guys.

 

^^HMMM, so im setting up a dealer account with toytec and may be getting a 3" coilover kit threw them.. HOnestly at this point i dont want to do a LT setup.. Maybe later.

 

Been Reading/Viewing alot of threads about modifications to the truck in order to fit that tire size and im up for the task

 

Hell yeah don't hesitate to make a how to for noobs afraid.

Shweet man!

 

IMO no need for 35s or more than a 3" lift UNLESS you spend the majority of time off road and on tough trails. A 3" and 33s are more than capable. The rest is the driver. Go over 3 and you open the door to a whole set of potential problems

 

Is there any how to's you guys are looking for?

Ive made tons of them on the evo forums lol

 

There are how to's on fitting 35"s but another one wouldn't hurt...
