    i have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with 125k miles on it and I want to put a 3" OME lift kit on it but I fear it will put too much stress on the frame leading to problems. Please help me out. just wondering if lifts on higher mileage older vehicles can or will affect them negatively. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you!!!!!

    Yes, not much rust on the frame. It's all in good shape

    If the frame was weak enough to have a problem, something bad would likely happen whether or not you put on an OME lift kit. The kit you are referring to shouldn't really affect stress on the frame of the vehicle at all. Its what you do with the vehicle after you put the lift on that will break shit :D
