    Hey guys, I have a 2014 tacoma with a pro comp 3 inch lift. I have been wanting more lift but I just don't have the money. I was wondering if I could have the pro comp lift kit (3 inches) and then add the rough country 3 inch lift on top of that and just use the blocks and front spacers off of the rc lift. Then just keep the rear shocks for spares.



    Pro Comp Suspension K5075B - Susp. Lift Kit; Ref.; Black; 3 in. Front/3 in. Rear Lift; Incl. Front Coil Springs; Rear Add-A-Leaf; 33x12.5 in. Max Tire Size

    Please right back. Thanks.

    Do some research man. We could spend all night talking about why you can't do this. Sorry not trying to be an ass.

    I mean technically its possible if you have 2wd. I have lift spindles, and added more lift with my coil-overs

    Lift spindles, if you're 2wd. Otherwise don't ruin your new 30k truck.

    Why not just buy another Tacoma frame, and have a stacked frame lift.

    since nobody wants to answer you besides "no"

    our front CV's and control arms can barely handle 3-3.5" of lift. anything above puts too much strain on the front end and you end up with a lot of broken parts

    6" lifts, aside from straight axle leaf setups, are only possible because they remove the front frame crossmember and basically drop the front diff to around stock height while pushing everything else up

    you can't just take a 3" lift coil and stack a 3" spacer on top of that

    save your money for a "proper" lift

    But seriously...Curious why you'd want more than 3" of lift. What are your plans for the truck? Wheeling or cruise the local mall..
