    6"Lift, 20"Rims 33"Tires, exaust, intake, stereo, etc.
    I have a 6" ProComp Lift and my Brother has a 6" Fabtech Lift, both lifts are great with no problems at all. We wheel down in moab and your approach angle on a 6" is much greater than a 3". Plus your choice of tires is bette as well. We have not regeared and have no power problems at all. I can slide my truck sideways at will so I think the power is fine
    . GO FOR THE 6" CHICKS LOVE IT TOO!!!!!!!!

    Correct Lents but I believe he had a 6 inch suspension with 3 inch body for a total of 9 inches of lift. :)

    I see a lot of people are bagging on the 6" lift that dont have it.
    I havent read a lot of bad things on the 6" lift from people that have them. I am looking at getting a pro comp lift. Out of everyone that has pro comp, what do you have, stage 1 or 2? I dont wheel a whole lot, so what would be the best?

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.

    first question... what type of wheeling?

    its best to look at the other rigs involved in the type of wheeling you are doing and see what has worked or hasn't worked for them...

    different regions, different terrain, calls for different setups...

    before you drop all that money, know what you are getting into with firsthand, up close and personal knowledge...

    2 or 4wd if your rocking a PreRunner do maxtrac spindles and a Dakar with 1" block if your rocking 4wd SAS best way to go if you Wana go that high if you go higher then 3" lift the CV shaft angles get to crazy you start having problems

    Also 6" lifts have the best CV axle angles of all the lifts.
