Pro's Con's of a 3" or 6" lift

If it's a non-4x4 then I'd go 6" just because I easily could. 4x4, 3" is pretty good before you start running into difficulties with IFS, just depends on your budget. I guess height helps people who run serious mud, but for an all-around vehicle too much height starts getting impractical.

 

I've been 2.5-3" for over 10 years and I have replaced each CV once. I am convinced the replacements were due to hardcore rockcrawling abuse and not the infinitesimal difference in CV angle.

 

Can someone please help me decide what to do about my 09 Taco? I bought it from a dealer and it already had a lift kit on it. I cant even tell what kind of kit it has there are no stickers or anything on it. I noticed a vibration in the the ride so I took it to a drivetrain specialist and discovered that one of the u joints was bad and he also told me my cv axel boots were gone and that was a result of the lift kit. I have done some research on this and from what I have read it sounds like I need a differential drop to change the angle of the cv axels. I have also read that certain types of lift kits require you to make serveral mods to the front end componets of my truck so what I'm asking is there a lift kit I can get that would not require all these changes? I don't do a lot 4 wheeling I just mainly drive it to work and back. I do however use it when I go hunting, putting my boat in, or occasionally pull someone out of a ditch. I would appreciate any advice.
