3 inch vs 6 inch lift/New Tacoma owner

Hey guys, this is my first post and I just bought my first Tacoma about 10 days ago. It's a 2017 TRD OR DCLB in Quicksand. I absolutely love it so far. I'd like to explore lifting it, but really trying to know the full extent of what I'm getting into before I end up halfway down a road I wish I had never turned down. The internet can be a wealth of knowledge, but it's also become a bit convoluted, so I hope to find a little more information specific to my post title.

From what I've seen, both lifts look great. In a perfect world, the 6 inch is more aesthetically pleasing to me. However, I know it may involve some more serious modifications to really make it right. For example, I'd like to avoid cutting of the wheel wells or anything of the sort. In order to get an appropriate tire size, I realize I may need to do that. That's the sort of stuff I'd like to know from anyone with experience. I definitely prefer a suspension lift as well. I'd love to hear from anyone who has one of the above lifts on the '16-17 body style and what your experience has been so far. Thanks for any feedback, it's greatly appreciated!

Pretty funny. One of the threads that comes up in that, is his other dupe thread in suspension

 

There is no "right" when lifting 6". It is wrong, both from an efficiency and performance standpoint. It changes your CG a lot. It looks good and that's about it.

 

Thanks for an informative and respectful reply, that’s good to know!
