    6" lifts require cutting the cross member, reduce ground clearance, offer no additional suspension travel and generally don't ride well. Also, they usually come with huge rear blocks which are gross.

    3" lifts with quality coilovers, UCAs and at least an AAL or better out back is the way to go

    Got it, I do city driving only, and to be honest I Will do the lift for looks , sorry being honest, what about warranty with my Taco 16 will I lose it if I do 3" lift , so it will be fair to say that there are a lot more pros than cons with a 3" than a 6" lift

    Ok duly noted about the spacers so in conclusion 3" over 6" is a better option in my case ,,, c
