    I currently have a 3" lift on my taco with 33" tires. Wanted to put 35s on there after my tread runs out. What will be the cheapest/best way to be able to lift it up 3 more inches. Any advice is good, thanks!

    Most would highly advise against a body lift, you probably don't want your cab flying off of the frame in any sort of collision.

    Just say no to 3" body lifts. Not very cost effective but if you really want 6" I'd replace your current setup with a complete 6" kit.

    You don't necessarily need 6 inches of lift to run 35s. Im pretty sure there is a few guys on here with 35s and a 3 inch lift. Of course there would be lots of trimming, probably need a plate bumper and lose the fender flares.

    sorry i'm late but i have done some more research and really don't like and wouldn't purchase a body lift over 1" just because of how it looks. Is there any other options besides taking off my 3" suspension and putting on a 6" suspension? And if i do go that route will i get any money from my current 3" suspension?

    Why not consider other tire sizes? You can go bigger than 285/75/16 285/70/17 without going all the way to 35s.
    285/75/17 are around 34" and would require less trimming. 1" body lift would help.

    thanks, and yeah i will probably do some more trimming and a 1" body lift and go with like 34's. I am just a big fan of a 6" 35s look but considering i am on a budget i will probably go with what the 1" body lift.

    I found a really good deal on 35s and am wanting to run them now instead of getting 34s. Is there any more suggestions besides the 1" body on top of my lift and trimming more?
