Pro's Con's of a 3" or 6" lift

From what I know now and after wasting my money on a 3" lift and alignments and then the UCA, Id go with a 4" Spindle lift. The stance is perfect. But I have to give it to the 6" Tacoma's, They just look BAD ASS with the 6". But its not for me. (Tire wear, gas, shakes, more alignments...).

 

How much did your pay for your thule setup..?? and where did you get it..??

 

i really havent had problems with alignments and tire wear..... or shakes.... and gas, i dont know really. because i have the S/C but with all that i get like 17 miles to the gallon......

 

just roll wit a .85 billestin lift......lol jk. thats what i got, but plan on a 3 lift soon. maybe a 2.5 but thats only bcuz thats what i need, im only 2wd

i was also thinking of the spindle lift, which gives 4in (i think)but that maybe be too extreme for my application, plus again im 2wd ....but who knows...

 

3" is MORE than enough for offroading. In fact, 6" is just crap offroad IMO.. Too tall and tippy.

 

If i were u id go with a 3" lift spindle (maxtrac, total chaos, camburg)which gives u a 3" lift, coilover shock set at about an 1" or the 5100's set at .85 so 4" in front and then go with all pro expos in the bak with 10" shocks and once they settle in gives u about 4" ish the ultimate stance with some 33's and ur set

 

I hadn't bothered to look at my old threads on here that I had done when I was thinking of buying my Taco almost forgot I posted some. Can't believe some are still going... And now I finally bought me a Taco 2012 and am ready to start modding.. 3" will be what I go with... Still not sure what setup tho.
I am going to go through this thread and do some reading now that I found it again.

 

I would hate to have to move anything onto my bed if I had a 6".

 

i have gone from a 6" to a pretty bad ass 3" and love it

 

Spacers blow.. and you blow and i blow... and we all blow

 

Here's my 6 doing some climbing...



Then i saw a bigger mound of dirt. put it in low with ATRAC(calling david K) didnt even spin a tire in the loose sand/dirt pile.



Then i was like, fuk it lets see how far up it will climb. i guess all the way up! Was about 8 feet tall

 

what tire carrier do you have?

 

its made by warrior a company that makes mostly jeep products but this is a universal carrier

just get a Fabtech Tire carrier its the same thing and its WAY cheaper i got mine for 70 bucks brand new and dose the same thing

 

6 inch lift

 

link please!?

 

you got to shop look around i got mine on KSL..... Ksl is only a utah thing but ive seen a lot on the internet ebay, Amazon, and forums, if you look you can get lucky. or even used...... stuff like a spare tire carrier doesn't really need to be new... new or used its going to do the same thing, and it doesn't matter if its rusted or the paint is all jacked up the tire covers the whole thing...

 

BAD KARMA MAN. YOU HAVENT SENT MY SWAYBAR!!!!

Be careful, this dude hasnt paid for the lift kit he got from me
