    Hi all,
    I was curious if there was anything to do in order to get more lift on top of a 3" susp. lift.
    Note: not off roading- nothing serious. Occasional trails to get to some camping/surfing areas, but that's it.
    I was wondering if there were any options other spring spacers that would kill ride quality?

    If your 4x4 you don’t want to go above 3” lift. You will put more stress on the cv’s and the boots can rub and even fail. Drop bracket lift is the only way to get more than 3” safely but they are usually not recommended here. You could do a 1” body lift on top and that wouldn’t kill the ride.

    Understood, if you went with a higher body lift would you run into the same issues??

    I’ve never run one because I don’t like how they look, but I also don’t like big lifts. I’m at 2.5” and I like a better ride than more height. That being said I don’t think there are any issues besides front and rear plate bumpers won’t line up, don’t know if you are going to be adding armor.

    After a fair amount of research, I think the ToyTec Boss kit is going to be a good bet for your (and mine) qualifications. Ordering mine soon. I had an old school OME kit on mine and I hated it. I’ll be interested to compare.

    These trucks don’t need more than 2.5”-3.0” of lift. I’ve run some decent trails in Moab with a mild lift and sliders on 265-75-16 tires.

    Extra lift isn’t necessary for what you do unless you like the look. But as stated above there’s a price for going higher, unless you do it right and then it’s $$$.
