    LOL, troof. Some are more sick than others. My wallet is lucky that I only have Tacoma HPV. Some unlucky bastards have full blown Tacoma AIDS.

    Keep the lift it as is, man. Use your truck and enjoy it. If you find that the 6" is somehow holding you back from how you want to use your truck, then consider changing it. But don't change it just for the sake of changing.

    The bro tires that came on it were probably typical fancy bro tread that was worthless in the weather. The BFG's should do better, though the reality is the biggest problem is it's a pickup with not a whole lot of weight in the back.

    Yeah man it's was shit pro comp tires that I had to throw my truck into 4wheel all the time in snow where my jeep would make it in 2wheel
    I have yet to have the BFGs in weather so we'll see
    An I hope by winter to have a shell to add a little weight to the rear.
