    Sup dudes,

    I’m currently running a 3in bilstein lift on my 2017 Tacoma trd sport and I’m looking to bump up to a 6in lift but I don’t want to break the bank. I’m considering getting a cheap 6in rough country kit, ditching the 6 in front strut blocks and replacing them with 3in strut blocks (since I already have a 3 in lift with the bilstein struts). Ideally, that would work right?

    Just curious if anyone has done something similar. Let me know!

    Lol crossmember cut time when you go above three...
    You have to make mods you can't undo when you go big. Food for thought.

    Technically no, you need the space taken up by a longer shock, your lift may not have the same length required +3"

    If you do a 6", sell your existing shocks and make sure to get coil overs. BDS lift is my favorite brand for brodozer Tacomas.

    might as well do a 3" body lift while youre at it. Then you will have a 9" lift! o_O;)

    Yeah I know, I’m willing to do it because I like the way 6 looks
