    So I parked next to a stock Tacoma Sport the other day and realized that my truck with the 2.75" Lift and 31's puts me at the 6 lug factory hieght...I was kinda bummed about this, So I'm wondering what I can do to get my truck up a little higher (2"?) Any suggestions?!? Anything...I just wanna be a little taller thats all :D btw, my front fender is 35" off the ground and my rear is 36"

    Explaining this in detail would be way off topic. Start reading here (scroll to the bottom of the page): http://www.customtacos.com/tech/index.php?article=137

    For a 5-lugger that will never venture off road, many of the cons of a body lift are not relevant.

    except for when you get in a car wreck and the cab and or bed fall off. the extra strain on the fixed area of the body/bed mounts they will crack over time

    This. Unless you plan on living somewhere on a deserted island with no idiots driving to hit you, then, sure do it. But the fact of a wreck and basically falling apart scares the shit out of me.

    This thread is going the wrong way sooooooo...
