    Thanks @IamJorgeEdward been swamped today since the family came in.

    @SergeStorms thanks man. Not all I'll try and answer the best I can.
    Honestly I was surprised with the gas milage. Only went down a mile or two. I can't floor it on the highway anymore obviously but if I keep it around 1-2 rpm I'm still getting 18mpg.

    Over all ride is pretty much the same. I haven't noticed a difference. I had my brother drive it today since he just got in and he bought his first Tacoma and says it feels just like his 16 but just a slight bit higher. Super happy about the feel of it.

    As far as changing anything. I wouldn't other than MAYBE bigger tires but I drive so much (40k as of yesterday) that mpg is the most important thing for me and my job. It's perfect to me.

    So, the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is the .75" track width increase. I would then have to run 1.25" spacers up front, and 2" spacers in rear, just to make it even on the front and rear. I'm afraid that will widen my stance more than I am wanting. So, I am seriously considering buying the rough country 6" lift, and using that on my Tacoma. Honestly, between the cost of the MaxTrac lift and wheel spacers I'd need, I would be sitting very close to the cost of the RC lift.

    Well, call me crazy, but I do not want to go to the cost of buying new wheels, plus I prefer the look of my tires sitting flush with my fender flares. My vision is to lift it up, because I LOVE the look of trucks with a higher clearance between the top of the tire and the wheel well, and at the same time go up to a 33" tire with a more aggressive looking tire, but not too aggressive looking (probably gonna get KO2s). I also like the look of the taller wall on tires. I want this truck to site higher and look more aggressive, but also make some people question if it came from the manufacturer looking like that.

    I hear ya man, not saying either way is right or wrong.

    I'm just saying it's not like the front is going to stick out 5 inches or anything. Spindles are just so nice for getting a sweet lift without a bunch of headaches.

    What kind of headaches could come about with using an RC lift? I did find out that I would not need to cut my cross member, since my truck is 2WD.

    I was gonna say most drop bracket lifts require the cutting of crossmembers or a factory bracket that's welded to the frame. Thay means you can never go back to stock. With Maxtracs you can go back to stock & almost get your money back by selling them.
    Also with Maxtracs you gain ground clearance & you lose it with drop bracket lift.

    Oh yeah! That was my whole point of not wanting the RC at first. There's no way I'm cutting my cross member. However, the guys at RC told me I would not have to, since the cut is to apparently make room for the diff drop and front drive shaft. I'm still eyeballing the idea of the spindles. I found a cheap source for some on ebay. I'm hopefully going to get to see a 2016 Tacoma with the 6.5" spindle lift sometime tomorrow.
