    Hey guys so right now I’m debating on going for a full Fabtech 6” lift with 2-3” leveling kit as well as 3” body lift kit or should I go with the fabtech components like the knuckles add leaf kit etc and switch out their shocks with either Kings or OME internal bypass if you’ve installed what im talking about please send me pictures and ease of install also what kind of tires would I be able to fit I know 35” but I want to know the max size possible

    you're saying you want a 6" drob bracket, + a 2-3" level, + a 3" body lift? for a total of 11 to 12 inches of lift?

    Popular amongst the truck scene here in Hawaii. Most are just show trucks

    But wouldn’t a SAS (or LT) taco be a much better show truck? That drop bracket is just plain awkward, ugly, and weak looking.

    Anyway, I think your suggestion of using a kit rather than piecing it together is sound.

    Not necessarily trying to make a show truck I’m mostly trying to get the best ride quality, clearance on trails and best comfort for the highway but not losing it as a daily

    your cab can be as high is you want but your suspension is still low so there’s no clearance.

    DB and BL don’t = comfort

    Then why would you even consider anything over 3, or even 2 inches?

    At least his CG will ensure he rolls over...

    Yup, that’s exactly what I have. Excellent as a daily, excellent on the trails. I can drive it across the country and through the mountains and still fit in parking garages.

    All those lift combinations mentioned above in the OPs post would make the truck a terrible DD and terrible on the trails I believe. Not trying to be a jerk just my opinion after trying various different lifts, levels and tire sizes.

    Adding portals to the bulletproof kit seems like the natural choice for a daily that you can still go rock crawling on the weekend.
