    hello everyone I am looking at different lift kits and prices. I want to put 35s under a 2010 tacoma so I'll probably be going with 6 inches. Wondering what's the best lift for the money? I see rough country is coming in at a thousand but I don't know about quailty. I'm not going to be doging my truck off-road. Any thoughts on a kit?

    Thanks,

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    You can do a 6" lift. A lot of us say no to them, but you don't go off road. Just be prepared, you have to cut your cross member to fit a 6" lift kit under this truck.

    Unlike what you said, your cv angles won't be hurt because you are adding new stuff to it.

    This guy has no clue what he's talking about. All 6" kits (drop bracket kits) lower the geometry of the suspension to keep the CV angles at a stock level. A 6" lifted truck will have the original CV's last way longer than anybody with a 3" lift. Jesus, I need another beer.

    I'm inserting my foot in my mouth now!! Lol didn't even no about drop bracket lifts!! Just knew about suspension and body lifts so I assumed 6" would be a suspension! Thank you for correcting me and teaching me something new!!! I got alittle cocky because I just lifted mine haha sorry! Listen to these guys

    LoL! It's cool Jonathan. That's the whole reason I went 6" vs the 3" lift. I wanted lift without the concern of changing boots or CV's often.......sense I commute 116 miles each day.

    Gotcha! Well know I know! I've just heard of people who went over 3" (excluding db lifts) having all kinds of nightmares. Haha and I have a 3" and my cvs barely changed.. I guess I got lucky!! Well I enjoy learning even if it's a humbling experience haha!!

    This seems like a question I can answer...... Lol!!!

    Yes but you'll have to trim and possibly do a cab mount chop. And they may rub on stock UCA's so I would get aftermarket ones and rims with at least 4.5" backspacing.

    (Fingers crossed) hope that was right haha
