    Drop bracket lift are basically like adding a new cross member under the factory ones. Your lower control arms come out & the new cross members bolt in their place, lca's bolt back up to the new cross members. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Pics to help.

    There's different kinds of lifts for different applications & budgets.
    As far as db lift being the best it depends on who you ask, off road guys don't like them cause you don't really gain any ground clearance & they prefer to lift with coil overs. If it stays on the street & you want more than 3" then it isn't that big of a deal but can be expensive.

    Yeah but there is also budget friendly coilovers/struts like Bilstein or OME.

    For 6" they'd sell you a db lift, a Pro Comp kit will probably run you from $1500 to almost $3000 depending on which kit you want + labor.
    You can get 3" Bilstein 5100 kit with new coil springs from Toytec for about $700.

    If your dead set on a 6" lift and you are worried about price get the zone which is the same as the bds kit and also runs 1249.00. Get the basic kit and you can upgrade the shocks to the longer bilstein ones used on the rcd kit. I would also recommend looking into a replacement leaf pack instead of running the big block that comes with the kits.
