    I'd like to see it with a person or non lifted taco next to it to get a better perspective of how high it actually is.

    What is the purpose? Why so much lift? It looks way out of proportion. Too big a lift for this truck. I do like the "looks" of the big quad cab long bed Domestic trucks lifted but no more than 8". I would never own one but they look cool. It's not the "mall crawler" trucks that I dislike... It's usually the D bag driving it.

    The 6" lifts look sick on the Tacomas.

    They call it a Tacoma 2500 on the site :facepalm:

    Looks like shit, and doesnt have a real function, and it is way too expensive... But whatever, if people buy it then it is worth making, but never on my truck. Also has to be terrible to drive, your center of gravity must be so f-ed up...

    I would go long travel before I would do that, plus bigger tires like someone said earlier "37's" would require a re-gear, so then there is even more money with the new leafs...

    I think a taco is too small of a truck to have that big of a lift, it looks odd, like a rc truck.

    If somebody has all that money to waste on junk like that good for them

    looks pretty sweet. unique in its own way. IMO i would use the $$Money$$ for other mods Like bumpers and suspension.. not practical in my eyes, since i use my truck not only for fun offroading but as my daily too.. wonder what the MPG on this beast is lol....

    I'd rock it ........no mall would be safe with me.

    I just hate the body lift. I would never have a body lift so if I want this look (which I would love to have) i'd SAS the shit out of it with badass parts.

    this. imo needs bigger tires but would still look goofy. also looks more like somthing that belongs in the show truck crowd.

    I'm thinking its a 2wd truck with the following:

    4" lift spindles
    Body lift
    and preloaded coilovers


    Didn't do any research on it but those look like camburg or maxtrac spindle, the chassis is exposed more, and you can see the preload.


    I think it looks gay but thats just me :p

    Why would you ever lift a 2WD truck this high? 2WD are made to be set up as desert runners, so long travel is the way to go. And with 37's and 22, (probably weighing around 130 per corner) gutless would be an understatement. Not for me, even though it look kinda cool not moving!

    This whole thing comes down to the form/function debate....which will lead to butthurt.

    I just like the guy Thats all " its the best lift they make because it comes with fox shocks...
    And if you offroad at all, its all about clearance"

    We gotta tell everyone here they're wheeling wrong. All you need is height!!!

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    But the kit allows for 4x4 as well so lift spindles wouldnt work.
    In their description it says there are fabricated spindles, as well as strut spacers included.

    Yeah your right, I just didn't read and just guessed like a dumbass :eek:.... those spindles just don't look like the ones in the DB lifts.

    How the hell does he get into his truck :eek:

    If you only wanted to be able to clear big tires for the looks of it then why not? Personally I wouldn't but to each their own

    Bulletproof lift kits are the best lift kits made out there. His shop is down the street from my work, and his lifts have life time warranty and the warranty transferable, if you sell your truck to someone else.
