    6 inch FAB TECH lift with a 3 inch body lift
    I have 6 inch fab tech shocks on my 1st gen Tacoma. But the ride quality is SUPER stiff. Where I live the roads are kinda messed up with bumps and stuff. And every bump I go over you can feel that there’s no “bounce” if that makes sense. Is there any way I can improve the ride quality without buying new shocks and keeping my 6in lift?

    I expressed my surprise to this configuration in a different thread. I’m also wanting to see the go-go gadget truck that can ride up and drive over traffic.
