    No. He is running a lift that lowers the mounting points of the control arms, thus giving lift.

    Dude....do you know what lift you even have? Yes, it includes spindles, but you have a drop bracket lift.

    That's a pretty sick set up. I'm usually not a fan of massive tires like that but you pulled it off very well in my opinion.

    I'm kind of disappointed honestly. This had potential to go down in such bigger flames than this.

    C'mon people!

    It means your truck is pieced together worse than Michael Jackson's face, and if somebody were to fart in the right direction she may fall apart. Stacking lifts on a 2x4...excuse me sir but I'm going to have to ask you to move your truck, its fagging up the place.:D

    ha this truck is put together very well and if it wasnt the dealership wouldnt have sold it bc they wouldnt sell it to me before they did all the checks on and they had to fix somethings that were not done right plus i am a mechanic also and i might not know everything about lifts but i have been around them long enough to see anything wrong on it but also 3 diff offroad shops have said the same ''stacking lifts arent good'' but when they saw the lift they said that it was well thought out and put together the right way so try again this isnt nowhere close to michael jacksons face maybe your just made bc you cant get your truck this high or maybe bc you didnt have the smarts to think of it yourself ??? dont talk shit about the truck unless youve seen it and drove it and know anything about it .. on top of that its not like it has 3inch blocks on top of 3inch block so try again when you know what your talking about :mad:

    Yeah.. I'm not selling it i love Tacomas and Toyota runs forever but I'm the biggest and i like how high it is and i was talking to the shop and we can keep it this height and do a straight axle and do 4x4 with 4 link on front and back and do away with all the lift and have coilovers for around 7k so i might do that but not sure yet
