    I purchased an 08 Tacoma last year, and I'm looking at installing a lift. I need some insight though, as I can't decide over a 4" or 6". They are both around the same price. Any suggestions?!?

    this and that...
    i would go with 6" if they are the same price--why not the extra two inches?

    I want the 6" on 35s, but I do a lot of city and highway driving, and don't know if the 6" will be the best choice

    I can't decide on 33's with the 4, or 35's with the 6. I might be able to get away with no regear if I go with 33's...
