    What is the most affordable but not crappy 6 inch lift kit for 2nd gen tacomas. Dont say Rough Country because i refuse to buy rc lol. Also how easy is it to fit 35s on a 6 inch?

    When you talking 6” you are getting in to dropped spindles etc…affordable. Depends on the depth of your pockets

    Why 6 inches?
    Only a couple that I know of that make a drop bracket lift... 1 is RC and 2 procomp.
    Are you willing to cut the front cross member out to fit the lift?
    There are other ways of fitting 35's without a 4/6 inch lift.

    Dude you need to do a lot more research, anything over 4” will be in the “custom” lift area. Why so high? Watch out for state Regs, Mass sucks with lift laws here. 1/2 ton
    no more than 4” as a rule of thumb

    With 6" lifts the price directly reflects how the truck will drive.

    Any lift under 2000$ is a top hat spacer, and drives like ass. You need a full coil over on the front for a 6" lift due to the extra weight.

    Pro-Comp, Fabtech or BDS are all good choices, but you're looking at 3000$+ and you typically need 18" rims due to the new knuckles, make sure to check before you order.

    I've installed many 6" lifts and I would rather drive a minivan than a spacer 6" lift.
