    i am considering putting a 6 inch procomp lift on my 2nd generation tacoma and was wondering if anyone had any input on the prcomp lift or any others such as ride quality and price. i am also looking at some 35 inch bfg mud terran km2 tires with some 18inch moto metal 951 wheels.
    please reply if you have info and post pictures as well thanks.:homer:

    I want a six inch lift because it looks so much better. However, i want the best ride quality on and off the road. (not a mall crawler). If i did 6" i would want a procomp stage II but i dont want to spend that kind of money. So i am going to order the toytec 3" ultimate kit.

    Well you would be guessing wrong. The DB does not affect ride quality. It simply lowers the the lower control arm mounting points and the diff. My truck had a very nice ride with the Eibachs and 5100's set at .85. The rear had a Deaver AAL. Now with the DB installed and the 5100's at zero the ride is still nice. I kept the Eibachs too and that may have had a positive effect on ride. I still have the Deaver AAL in the rear with a 2.5 inch block (I know it's not a good idea) but I think the ProComp shocks are the biggest issue back there. I plan to get a new leaf pack and better rear shocks in the future but I would do that even if I didn't have a DB lift. I think replacing small P rated tires with big heavy 10 ply ones would have a bigger effect on ride. Yeah I don't wheel my truck but plenty of guys with DB lifts do. Just ask nofords.

    You are a fucking dick. Let me see your truck. If you are telling me my truck looks like crap then I know you are a liar and just trying to piss me off.

    Yeah he is because he want's something he can drive fast through the desert. Not a strong suit of a DB lift or a stock truck either for that matter. I think he's going mid travel if I remember correctly.
