6" or 3" pros and cons

i was looking to get a lift and tires for the yota but was wondering what are some of the pros and cons of getting a 6" lift and a 3" lift. obviously ground clearance is a good on but i do alot of highway miles but not so much worried about gas mileage but ain't looking to lose alot of mpg's. any suggestions and or knowledge?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

would have to agree....


Drop Bracket lifts are lame

 

I can't think of a single "pro" for a six inch lift.

Lowers ground clearance, way more expensive, and just way too much lift for a midsized truck IMO.

 

^ I'm a little confused here.

As far as lift height, for a freeway flyer it doesn't really matter too much.

You will probably find more people running the 2.5-3" lifts than 6".

 

You guys are forgetting a huge con to 3"
there are just no pictures....

thats exactly it!

 

what would be the best 3" lift to go with and what mods are there that go with a 3" that i may need to know about?

 

icon ext. co's, with total chaos uca's

 

How much do you want to spend? There are a lot of different options depending on what is in your budget, or what you want out of the lift.

 

Don't listen to any of these guys, 6" drop bracket lifts with shit all over our trucks.

x3 ^^

 

^^ This.

6" lifts make our trucks look funny. 4" is the max I would lift a Tacoma.

 

a 3 inch coilover kit with uca's and with 285s u get more front cross member to ground clearance than a 6 inch drop bracket kit with 35s

 

3in still fits in garage.

 

I have a 6 inch lift and am selling the truck and rebuilding one with a 3 inch.

6 = too much wear and tear. if its your dd stick with a 3''

 

that regular cab looks the part for sure! but to run a 6 inch on our 4 cylinders you must regear that chick is running 35's on the stock 4.11 gears that thing must get 10 mpg and be slow as molasses lolz

 

Best friend has a 6in lift but its not a spacer lift he has icon coils and has it done right and i love it but i like my 3in lift also. They both can be good.

 

idk anything about a 6 inch icon lift, but if he pieced one up or it's a complete kit from them i'm sure it's nice icon is top shelf obviously. fabtech and pro comp 6 inch lifts are a different story in my book alot of people are running these set-ups i had my choice of either last weekend and i went with a 3 inch kit instead from pro-comp. i'm waiting to instal it until i sell some of stuff and it's killing me. idk i did alot of reading and the more i read the more a drop bracket lift from either of those manufactures just did not make sense to me.
