    Got some questions that google cant help me with lol. Anyway, in the future im wanting to go to 6 in lift but I don't want to buy an entire kit. What exactly would I need in order to achieve this?

    I am currently running the 5100s set at .85 with the 1.6 eibach springs in the front with a 1/2 inch spacer on both sides as well as the 1/4 spacer on the drive side for taco lean. I also have total chaos uca. In the rear just the add a leaf also with the 5100s.

    Obviously I will need lifted knuckles and dropped cross member but what in the driveline would have to be extend if any at all? The rear is a little more straight forward im assuming?

    Im just trying to get some ideas as to what I would need and about a price range I will be looking at.

    Would help if we knew what kind of truck you have. Start with 2wd vs 4x4

    Most everyone here will say don't do it. I can't really tell you what's involved. But my guess is a lot. Maybe even a full kit

    I don't really know. But you're in the right place for some answers.
    Everyone will ask you why you want to. Say you're a mall crawler or 6 inch is not better off road. And all sorts of crap. I say it's your truck to whatever. But if it were my truck. I'd stay at 3 inches. Maybe and I mean maybe do like a 1 inch body lift. Big maybe there.

    I would say maxtrac 4" spindles then you could get a total of 7" if you wanted but I think those are for prerunners only
