3" vs 6" lift?? Help me decide

3" Toytec Ultimate lift or 6" Fabtech. I know their is a big price difference but the 6" to me looks way better, gives better tire clearance and offers a better ride compared to most the 3" lifts (aside from OME). I have the Toytec Ultimate w/Bilstein 5100's but every time I see a Taco with a 6", I'm like damn that looks sic! What do you guys think?



OR

 

Brotha, Your truck is Sick already man!! 3" is my vote, that's what I'm saving for, OME!! Love your state, been there twice and also Maui!!
Aloha Brotha!!

 

function over form. it's what the tacoma is all about. the 3" lift is way more versatile, and functional off-road. My vote is definitely for your existing 3" lift.

 

Your truck looks perfect the way it is. 6" is over kill on a Tacoma in my opinion.

 

dude your truck looks great now, 3"

 

3

 

3 for sure. 6 for show.

 

keep it at 3" its sick! if you wanna throw some more money into suspension, swap out your leaf pack for a deaver or OME pack!

edit: while your at it add some of these!

yah, i like 3 inch lifts. 6 looks good too... but i always thought 6 inch lifts were good for chevys..

 

$$$$

Your lookin good already brah

 

Well I didnt listen to the advice guys. Went w/the 6" Fabtech
I'm stoked except for turning radius is reduced w/the 6" Also, when turned all the way, I get nuckle/spindle bind which sounds like the old 86-95 Toyota IFS.

 

cant wait for pics

 

Lol, good choice. If I had the money, I would put the 6" on mine.

 

With Fabtech 6" Performance




With Toytec Ultimate 3"




I think the TRD skid needs to go, but nothing else protects the engine bay. Fabtech leaves it wide open

 

Isn't that the basic kit? The performance kit comes with coilovers.
Hey on a side note I see your truck on base!
I just got my recon updated!! Passed with flying colors!

Did you do your Recon?

 

Check if your coils are touching anything? When 4WP first installed my lift, it was hitting my steering tie rod. They installed the shock bushing backwards.

 

in all honesty do what you would like to do. 3 inch if you like it 6 inch if you like. it (but i like 6 inch)

 

Dude I say 3" but....its sounds like your really leaning towards 6" so just do what makes you happy...fuck it, go 6" lol

 

Haha, I personally liked the 3" better, but either way your tuck is bad @ss!

Great right you have.

I would Line-X or paint the skid plate though as it doesn't look "fluid" with the awesome ARB bumper you have.

 

You guys know this poll is almost a year old??

He already did the 6" lift. Just FYI! LOL!!!!!!!!!
