    I'm wondering if on my 2009 toyota tacoma crew cab 4x4 sport package if I would be able to put a 3inch suspension lift and a 3inch body lift together? If I can would I need to buy anything else for it to run correctly?:confused:

    You won't find much love here for 3 inch body lifts.

    You can certainly have both installed. I would sugget looking around the site for a bit to get some ideas. Decide what it is you are trying to accomplish and go at the project with as much knowledge as possible.

    I've researched BL's and 1" seems to be the best if you do go that route. I've read about too many issues to want anything over a 1" body lift. I'm also interested in getting one but any higher and your messing with steering, alignment of bumpers, and it's not very aesthetically good looking when going above 1". Just some of the stuff I've read about

    I dont really want a BL but I cant afford a 4 or 6 inch lift and I figured that would be the best option

    The clearance you gain from installing a proper 3" lift, will allow you to run taller tires which also provide "lift"... Because they're taller !

    You don't need any more than a 3" lift and 33" tires to get anywhere you are going.

    3" of body lift... wont get you anything as far as clearance... you realize that right?

    everything else underneath your bumper will still only be 3" from suspension
