    I currently have a Toytec 3" lift (BK0510 - Bilstein Adjustable lift kit with 5100 shocks) with the 1.5" rear block and an AAL on my 2010 DCLB.
    I'm interested in lifting another 3" for a total 6" lift to install 35's' I am aware that I will need to purchase different UCA's but what's the best option on the lift?? Scrap the $1000 lift already installed or is it possible to add to an existing lift?? Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

    No you cannot add to whats on it to gain a total of 6 inches. Just get a BDS 6 in lift. You'll be happy with that.

    As mentioned, short of a not recommended body lift, you cannot stack your lifts that high. You need to look up a true 6" lift.

    Since I have a coil only suspension lift on the front and an AAL in the rear..... Could I just put a 3" coil over spacer in the front and add a 4.5" block in the rear beneath the AAL?

    If you want a 6" lift, get one.

    Don't try to make one out of two 3" lifts.

    You shouldn't be looking for 35's till you can afford a good lift. Listen to what everyone here is saying. Why would you put your own safety in jeopardy for looks? :facepalm:

    Just didn't know if it was an option... I already spent $1500 on the 3" lift because I wanted it done right with the right product and now I'm not satisfied with the hight. Most 6" lifts (the good ones) are over $2k when completed and then comes tires and rims. Here's how it sits now.....

    Hate to say it but a block lift is not the "right way".

    Also truck looks good. Putting massive tires on just get old if you ask me. Messing the gears up, crap mpg, bad suspension geometry

    Lots of problems long term with 6" lifts as well.

    I'd consider a different truck personally.

    If you had done it "the right way", the ass of your truck wouldn't be sagging from the weight of your dirt bike.

    Most of the guys on here running 35s are on 3" lifts. You'll still need a cab mount chop with a 6" DB lift.

    Nice looking truck, but it doesn't appear off road oriented.

    What will 35's correct that the truck lacks capability in now?

    And while figuring budget, add another couple large for the re-gearing you'll be looking for to restore drive-ability.

    Might have missed it, but is your truck a 4x4? If it's a prerunner you could get a set of spindles.

    The rear doesn't sag or squat with the bike in the rear. The parking area is uneven.
    Yes, it's a 4X4.
    Thank you everyone for the opinions and recommendations. I agree with most and probably best to just leave it the way it is.
