3inch vs 4inch lift

Ok I’ll be the one to say it, why waste your $ on a RC lift? They are not known for quality, and they ride like dump trucks too. My buddy has the 3.5 Vertex kit on his 2019, and he hates it for anything off-road. The RC lifts are not designed for anything beyond forest service roads in terms of “off-road performance” , Just some things to think about.

 

Vertec,Blocks,No Vibration,factory rack..Had an Authorized Rough Country Dealer/Installer put the lift on..They have installed over 500 lift kits on Toyotas,Chevys,Fords,Dodge since opening in 2002.I asked about needle bearings and front end wear with this kit He said if I dont take it offroading that there wouldnt be any worrys at all. He took my truck to a well known and respected Alignment shop...they had to push my front wheels forward ( I think he told me 1.5")....it drives straight no pull but It still rubbed some.
I took a blow torch and pushed back the plastic...the tires still slightly rub when full locked,they barely hit the cab mount by 1/2" (Im not cutting it because it will void warranty) not enough for me to worry about..HOW OFTEN DOES A PERSON FULL LOCK DRIVING ON THE ROAD RIGHT?

 

Im never taking my truck Offroad....rides smooth

 

Cleaned it up this past weekend here are some pics

 

IMO nothing over 2.5”. I’m running 2”
Of lift My CV’s are at a great angle and Fins are not touching.

 

To each is own, I just don’t understand investing $ into components that do not improve the vehicle. With that much chrome, I’m not surprised it is “on road only”.

 

I have Betsy for my Appalachian mountain 4 wheeling ... 1985 Ford F250...Lock in hubs and REAL METAL...SOLID DEPENDABLE

 

I think 99% of Tacoma owners don’t realize how quickly you lose downtravel when lifting Toyota IFS.

I was one of those ppl until I learned about it all on TW

 

Thank you really loving the truck! No did not go with the 3.5 lift. Just the level kit, 2inch in the front and 1inch in the back with some tires and she's looking the way I want it to. No vibrations what so ever. Just drove the truck from Ontario to Tennessee then back to Onterible and could not tell any vibrations at what so ever even at 70mph+. Truck drove like it did the day I bought it. Although I did get the alignment done. And you can slightly tell the rear is a bit higher but I can only tell if I look at it hard enough.
