    Ah man...I'm not a fan of body lifts at all. I say you do a true 6 inch suspension lift and call it good! 9" of lift is pointless bud :eek:

    Save your money for some cooler stuff like trail armor etc...or do a LT kit :cool:

    I didn't mean to sound rude...If I did i'm sorry bud. I just think 6 inches is plenty, then if you added some bad ass trail armor it'd look like a tank!!! :eek: :cool:

    9 inches on a taco? that seems kinda pointless..unless its on a ford f350 or something...on a toyota..its looks like overkill...on my F250 i had..i ran a 6inch with mickey thompsons and some american racing X rims and an ARB front winch..man i loved that truck..but it got too expensive to run..so i had to sell her..some dumbass bought it and totalled her a week after he bought it..so i got a smaller truck after i sold my ford

    If you take it offroad i would get rid of that 3" body lift and just go with 6" fabtech. It'll last longer and be better for your truck.

    9 inch lift with different sets of tires/rims on same truck.

    looks way sicker than a 3 or 6 inch lift, I say why lift your truck if its not going to be high.
