    50" curved light bar, 30" bumper light bar, self-made brackets for 50" and 30", 18x9 -12 offset dropstars, 33x11 BF Goodrich tires, 1.5" spacers, halo headlights, interior color changing LEDs, and few other things.
    I am getting new Rims with a -12 offset and adding 1.5" wheel spacers next week. I want to put 37's on my truck and am thinking about adding a 6" rough country lift on top of my 3" body lift. I heard that the Rough Country lift is made cheap and doesn't last. Any opinions or anyone that has one have any comments about it?

    This probably won't help much, but I had a 3" Rough country on my 2014 prerunner. Although I only put about 40k miles on it. The suspension performed just as well as the bilstein 5100's I have now... I understand their is a huge difference between 3" and 6" but I liked the product/company.

    As a side note: I thought the 'rough country' decal was cool across the windshield until few of my 'friends' took a razor and removed the o, r and y from country and I had to drive it 45 minutes, getting nasty looks the whole way... Long story short don't put the sticker on haha

    Makes sense why you were getting nasty looks :rofl:That makes me feel better about getting the lift because all I heard is good things about bilstien lifts. There is a big difference between 3" and 6" but if the company is good then the product should be good

    Check out BDS for drop brackets. Rough Country didnt do such a good job with the tacoma drop bracket. And keep in mind with any drop bracket you'll be cutting your cross member which isnt easily reversed!
